Malic Acid and Fumaric Acid (MAL/FAC)

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MALIC ACID AND FUMARIC ACID (MAL/FAC)

Malic acid (MAL) and Fumaric acid(FAC) are organic compounds derived from Maleic Anhydride (MAN).

They are adopted in several different well-established applications, such as:

• - Food industries as additives or preservatives
• - Beverages industry
• - Papermaking
• - Unsaturated Polymer Resins
• - Cosmetics and Healthcare

MAL and FAC are also used in new emerging applications like:

• - Treatment of Metals
• - Textile Industry
• - Animal Feeds
• - Flame retardant
• - Others

As CONSER we are able to offer an advanced process, minimizing investment and operating costs, guaranteeing high product standards and quality based on our extensive previous experience in the field. 

CONSER technology allows the co-production of Malic and Fumaric Acid, assuring a high flexibility of the products distribution of the plant, which allows an excellent adaptability to the current market trend. 

Maleic Anhydride (MAN)

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MALEIC ANHYDRIDE (MAN)

Maleic anhydride (MAN) is a highly reactive colourless solid widely used in the petrochemical industries for Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR), fibreglass enriched resins, 1,4 Butanediol (BDO), lubricating oil additives, artificial sweeteners, flavour enhancements.

MAN market is in continuous expansion, presenting solid and constant growth over the last 30 years due to its inherent application flexibility and supply constraints, exacerbated by a number of plant outages and higher consumption as consumers rebuilt inventories.

CONSER, with over 30 years of experience in the Maleic Anhydride production, is able to deliver an extremely efficient process design, guaranteeing the highest standard of product quality, while reducing the operating and capital costs investment needed. Thanks to an advanced reaction system integrated with a patented process of recovery and purification, CONSER technology is highly advanced compared to the other commercial technologies available.
