Process Economics Program Report 60A
Published: Nov-75
This supplement to the Process Economics Program (PEP)
Report No. 60, "Proteins from Hydrocarbons," issued in February 1970 reports
the current industry status; updates the process review and process economics
for the production of proteins from n-paraffins, gas oil, and methane (natural
gas); and includes the process review and process economics for the production
of proteins from ethanol and methanol. The appendices include the guidelines
set by the Protein Advisory Group of the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization and patent summaries on some of the fermenters for protein production
from hydrocarbons and some of the treatment methods for cells. This supplement
excludes review of synthetic ethanol and methanol since they were the subjects
of PEP Report Nos. 53 and 43. Sources for the technical and statistical information
used in this supplement are domestic and foreign patents, trade and technical
journals and books, equipment vendors, and private communications.
