The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Methyl Butyrate manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Methyl Butyrate production, including the cost of Methyl Butyrate production, Methyl Butyrate plant cost, Methyl Butyrate production costs, and the overall Methyl Butyrate manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Methyl Butyrate production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Methyl Butyrate is a combustible compound with a diverse range of applications across various industries. It is widely used as a solvent in the production of various chemical products, such as some types of resins. It also finds its application as a flavoring agent in manufacturing various food and beverage products. It is often used as a flavoring agent in the production of drinks such as rum and other beverages to impart fruity flavor. It is also used in manufacturing perfumes and certain other fragrance products. Additionally, it is also used as a surrogate fuel in combustion studies for the large methyl esters in biodiesel.

Its role in flavor and fragrance applications remarkably drives its demand in the perfumery and food industries. The market for methyl butyrate is also led by its usage as a food additive to impart a fruity flavor to various food products, which significantly fuels its demand in the food and beverage industry. Its involvement in perfumery largely promotes its demand in the cosmetics, personal care, and fragrance industries. Moreover, its usage as a solvent for manufacturing nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose resins, also contributes to its market expansion. Additionally, industrial Methyl Butyrate procurement is greatly influenced by the cost and the availability of the raw materials (methyl alcohol, etc.), its application in the chemical industry, supply chain reliability, logistics, sustainability practices, quality standards, etc.

Raw Material for Methyl Butyrate Production

According to the Methyl Butyrate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Methyl Butyrate production include Butyric Acid-Methanol-Sulfuric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Methyl Butyrate

The extensive Methyl Butyrate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Esterification: This method of production involves the process of esterification for the synthesis of methyl butyrate as the product. The process is initiated by the liquid-phase reaction of butyric acid and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid, which results in the formation of methyl butyrate as the final product.

Methyl Butyrate (C5H10O2) is a colorless liquid with an apple odor. The compound is composed of five carbon, ten hydrogen, and two oxygen atoms. It’s a methyl ester with a molecular weight of 102.13 g/mol. It is a flammable clear liquid with a flash point measured around 14 °C. Its melting and boiling point is measured around -95 °C and 103 °C, respectively. It is a combustible chemical that is slightly soluble in water. Similarly, the compound is also soluble in various organic solvents, including ethyl ether and ethanol. Its vapor pressure is measured around 32.3 mm Hg at 25 °C.

The density of the compound is 898 kg/m3, and the flash point of the compound is 14°C. It is a fatty acid ester that is obtained by the esterification of methanol and butyric acid in the presence of an acidic medium. Methyl Butyrate is a highly flammable liquid that can react with acids, yielding alcohols and carboxylic acids. Its reaction with acids is exothermic. It is a moderately toxic chemical liquid that can irritate the skin and eyes.
