Livzon Ningxia Completed L-phenylalanine Upgrading Project

Posted on 2025-01-202025-01-22 by nkmarketresearch

According to the monitoring report publicized on 9 Dec., Livzon Group (Ningxia) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Livzon Ningxia) completed L-phenylalanine production line technical transformation project.

Project overview

Nature: Technical transformation
Location: Pingluo Industrial Park, Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
Total investment: USD0.65 million (RMB4.70 million)
Construction content: The existing L-phenylalanine production line, with a capacity of 13,000 t/a, underwent technical transformation to enable the production of tryptophan and L-isoleucine.
Product plan:
- L-phenylalanine production was maintained for 183 days, the capacity reduced from 13,000 t/a to 9,000 t/a.
- Tryptophan, L-isoleucine, and L-phenylalanine are produced alternately for 147 days, with three production schemes throughout the year:
  - Producing solely 4,000 t/a of tryptophan；
  - Simultaneously producing 2,000 t/a of tryptophan and 2,000 t/a of L-isoleucine；
  - Producing solely 4,000 t/a of L-isoleucine.
- Main raw materials: The production of 4,000 t/a of tryptophan requires approximately 23,000 t/a of glucose (purchased).
- Labor quota: No new employees
- Progress:
  - Start construction: March 2024
  - Completion: Jun. 2024
  - On-site environmental monitoring: Jul. 2024
