Butanol production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Butanol production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Butanol. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Butanol Production Cost Report

Butanol, or butyl alcohol, is a four-carbon alcohol having five isomeric structures. It can be made using algae or diatoms only employing a solar-powered biorefinery. It has four isomeric structures, n-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutanol, and tet-butanol.

Butanol is a C4 alcohol with molecular formula C4H9OH and has a calorific value of 29.2 MJ/dm3, and it has a low heat of vaporization (0.43 MJ/kg) and lower Reid vapour pressure. Butanol is immiscible in water and has a higher energy content. Also, it is less corrosive in comparison to ethanol. Its energy density is similar to that of gasoline and greater than ethanol and methanol.

It is less hygroscopic and corrosive than ethanol which makes it easily transportable in pipelines which should be transported in trucks or barges. It appears to be a colourless liquid with medium volatility and has a smell similar to a banana. The solvent is also flammable and has a flashpoint of around 35° C. Its Molecular Mass is 74.12, and its boiling, and melting point is 117 °C (242.6 °F) and -90 °C (-130 °F).

The Butanol market is being driven by the demand for the product as a biofuel since it has a better performance and corrosion resistance than ethanol as a biofuel. It can be used in the majority of gasoline engines in place of gasoline and requires no modifications. Furthermore, it is used as a fundamental bulk chemical extensively used as a precursor in organic synthesis and food industry solvents, as well as in various chemical processes.

It is also used as a solvent in various chemical and textile processes, in organic synthesis, as a paint thinner and solvent in coating applications since it evaporates slowly in lacquers and ambient-cured enamels. Also, it finds application as a hydraulic and brake fluid component as well as a base for perfumes which further boosts its market expansion. Finally, its other properties, like increased energy security and lower emissions, furthers its market growth.
