杜邦Tate＆Lyle Bio Products，LLC是Dupont和Tate＆Lyle同样拥有的合资企业，昨天宣布了其在田纳西州Loudon的1亿美元设施中的Bio-Pdo™的首款商业货物。卢顿设施生产1,3--可再生资源（在这种情况下是玉米糖）的丙二醇（Bio-PDO™），使其成为世界上第一个生产这种新型生物产品的设施。
合资企业使用杜邦和泰特和莱尔共同开发的专有发酵工艺，使用玉米代替石油的原料来生产Bio-PDO™。与基于石油的丙二醇相比，BeiO-PDO™的生产消耗的能源减少了40％，并将温室气体排放量减少了20％。生产1亿磅的Bio-PDO™将节省相当于每年1000万加仑汽油的能源，或者足以每年为22,000辆汽车燃料。
“ Bio-PDO™是多种产品的多功能成分，包括Sorona®等专业聚合物，并且非常适合化妆品，液体洗涤剂和抗冻冰点，” Dupont Tate＆Dupont Tate＆Steven Mirshak说。Lyle Bio产品。“由于其性能，可生物降解的性质以及替代石油衍生产品的能力，我们看到对所有Bio-PDO™等级的需求强劲。无论今天使用乙二醇的地方，企业应考虑将其替换为我们的新可再生成分。”
“The first shipments of Bio-PDO™ from Loudon mark the beginning of the commercial availability of DuPont’s bio-based pipeline, which is designed to deliver high performance, renewably sourced materials,” said Tom Connelly, DuPont executive vice president and chief innovation officer. “The technology that was developed to make the various grades of Bio-PDO™ a reality holds great promise. It is a clear demonstration that this new technology can offer new opportunities for products in every major market segment in our economy.”
“Tate & Lyle scientists have been developing products from renewable resources such as corn, wheat and sugar for over 80 years and Bio-PDO™ is an excellent addition to our industrial ingredient portfolio,” said D. Lynn Grider, president, Tate & Lyle’s U.S. Food & Industrial Ingredients Division. “By continuing to invest in research, and through strategic partnerships, we can help meet the world’s increasing demand for products from renewable resources that match or exceed the functionality of petroleum-based alternatives. Achieving first commercial shipment is a significant milestone for the joint venture and marks the important move from theoretical to practical.”
Bio-PDO™的第一批发货被送到杜邦，以制造Dupont™Sorona®聚合物，并向客户评估使用Bio-PDO™配方的新工业产品。Bio-PDO™可以本身或作为基于石油原料的材料的生产中的成分来用于多种应用。亚博网站下载
