Butanoic acid, also known as butyric acid, is a short-chain saturated carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C₄H₈O₂. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor, commonly found in dairy products, animal fats, and fermented foods. Industrially, butanoic acid is produced through chemical synthesis from butyraldehyde or via microbial fermentation of carbohydrates. It is widely used in the manufacture of esters for food flavorings, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and as a feedstock in the production of bio-based chemicals and plastics.
Setting up a butanoic acid production plant requires site selection with access to raw materials such as butyraldehyde or biomass feedstocks, reliable utilities, and compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Equipment should support efficient fermentation or chemical synthesis, with provisions for purification, storage, and waste management.
