Global renewable chemicals company Myriant recently announced that it has been in the German Leuna Thyssen Krupp Wood (ThyssenKruppUhde) bio technology commercial production plant to start commercial production of bio based succinate, production process can reach the scale of commercial production and product quality standards.
Myriant and Thyssen Krupp Wood signed an exclusive alliance agreement on the commercialization of bio based succinate in 2009. Objective to have two, one, to ensure that the production process of biological base acid has a cost competitive advantage, can commercial production of high purity products; second, to ensure that Thyssen Krupp Wood provides an important guarantee for the performance of the Myriant, the future of the construction of biological technology. The successful commercialization of production means that the first goal of the realization.
Currently global market value of about 7500000000 u.. The main use of the traditional acid was obtained from petroleum, widely used in polymer, polyurethane, plasticizer and coating. The high purity of Myriant was obtained from renewable raw materials, and the chemical properties were not different from the traditional one. Compared with the traditional petroleum based succinate, greenhouse gas emissions from Myriant of bio based succinic acid to 94% less, than petroleum based adipic acid 93 percent lower.
