Volume 94, Issue 14
Montana-based Rivertop Renewables says its first commercial production of sodium glucarate from sugar has exceeded expected plant capacity by 15%. Rivertop makes the biodegradable salt via chemical oxidation at a plant operated by DTI in Danville, Va. The companies say the facility, which started up in August 2015, now has the capacity to make 4 million kg per year of sodium glucarate. Rivertop plans to sell the output for use in products including dishwasher detergent and corrosion inhibitors.
