This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from raw sugar using a speculative, continuous, low pH, fermentation process. In this process, Lactic Acid is recovered from the fermentation broth through microfiltration and nanofiltration steps. An 80 wt% Technical Grade Lactic Acid, with 95 wt% purity is generated as final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) Pal, P., et al., “Process Intensification in Lactic Acid Production: A Review of Membrane Based Processes” (2) Kwon, S., et al., “High-Rate Continuous Production of Lactic Acid by Lactobacillus rhamnosus in a Two-Stage Membrane Cell-Recycle Bioreactor” Keywords: Dextrose, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Cell Recycle
