BioAmber licenses JM Davy technology for BDO/THF plants

摘要

BioAmber Inc. announced that it has entered into a technology license with Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies. The licensing package will enable BioAmber to construct and operate a plant that uses bio-succinic acid as the feedstock to produce 70,000 t of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and 30,0001 of tetrahydrofuran (THF). The li- cense will help the company to accelerate deployment of its BDO/ THF facility, which it plans to commission in 2018.
