Dragon Phoenix Completed Starch Sugar Deep Processing Project

Dragon Phoenix Completed Starch Sugar Deep Processing Project

Posted on by

According to the monitoring report publicized on an environmental platform on 7 Apr., Heilongjiang Longfeng Corn Development Co., Ltd. (Dragon Phoenix) has completed starch sugar deep processing project.

Project overview

  • Nature: Expansion and Reconstruction
  • Location: Within Dragon Phoenix’s plant, Qinggang County, Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province
  • Total investment: USD7.66 million (RMB 55 million), of which USD0.17 million (RMB 1.2 million) is for environmental protection
  • Construction content: The project utilizes the existing sodium gluconate production line, adding ion-exchange systems, saccharification tanks, plate and frame filters, evaporators, and other auxiliary equipment to produce starch sugar (the starch sugar production line operates 350 days a year, while sodium gluconate production is halted). It also adds equipment to the existing erythritol production line for valine production. Product plan: 100,000 t/a of maltose (meeting GB/T20883-2017 standards) produced from 148,600 t/a of self-produced starch slurry 20,000 t/a of valine produced from 25,400 t/a of self-produced glucose
  • Labor: No new personnel, relying on existing staff
  • Timeline:
    • Approval of EI report: 24 Apr., 2024
    • Starting construction: May 2024
    • Completion: Early Feb. 2025
    • Starting commissioning: Late Feb. 2025
    • On-site environmental monitoring: 4-5 March, 2025, and 18-19 March, 2025

Dragon Phoenix, controlled by Zhucheng Xingmao Corn Development Co., Ltd., currently processes 1.5 million t/a of corn to produce 1.3 million t/a of starch, 20,000 t/a of erythritol, 100,000 t/a of maltose, 100,000 t/a of glucose syrup, 30,000 t/a of maltodextrin, 170,000 t/a of sprayed corn bran, 86,200 t/a of protein powder, 12,000 t/a of crude oil, and 57,000 t/a of germ.

Jiaozuo Huakang’s Xylose Energy-saving Reconstruction Project

Posted on by

Jiaozuo Huakang Sugar Alcohol Technology Co., Ltd. (Jiaozuo Huakang)’s 30,000 t/a of D-xylose green intelligent upgrade and transformation project started trial operation in April 2024 and completed acceptance in June 2024.

The project ran stably during trial operation.

  • By mid-June 2024, malfunctions occurred in the production equipment during operation.
  • Upon inspection, the membrane in the membrane filtration section was clogged.
  • After cleaning, it ran normally.
  • Later, it needed to stop production for cleaning every 8 hours, causing intermittent production halts and lack of continuity.
  • Technical personnel found that metal ions, salts, and large-molecule substances in the xylose hydrolysate accumulated, drastically reducing the flux in subsequent sections and preventing normal production.
  • According to the problems, technicians proposed adjusting the production process, mainly involving granular carbon filtration, continuous ion-exchange decalcification, and chromatographic desalting.
  • On 25 March, the local Ecological Environment Bureau accepted the environmental impact report of Jiaozuo Huakang’s Xylose Energy-saving Reconstruction Project and publicized it.

Project overview

  • Nature: Technological transformation
  • Location: Wuzhi County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province
  • Total investment: USD16.7 million (RMB 120 million), of which USD2.1 million (RMB 15.1 million) is for environmental protection
  • Construction content: Building energy-saving production facilities in existing workshops.
  • Product plan: 30,000 t/a of D-xylose (capacity unchanged)
  • Raw materials: Corncob consumption increased from 150,638 t/a to 184,188 t/a due to origin changes. After reconstruction, all corncob will be purchased from Henan and Shanxi, instead of mainly from the Northeast with supplements from Henan and Shanxi as before.
  • Labor quota: No new staff, 500 existing employees
  • Working system: Three 8hr shifts per day, 330 working days per year
  • Construction period: 12 months

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhejiang Huakang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Huakang Pharma), Jiaozuo Huakang produces D-xylose mainly for Huakang Pharma to produce xylitol.

Norchem Biotech’s Inositol and Liquid Sugar Project

Posted on by

On 7 March, the local ecological environment bureau accepted and publicized the environmental impact report for the inositol and liquid sugar mixture project of Hunan Norchem Biotech Co., Ltd. (Norchem Biotech).

Project overview

  • Nature: Expansion and renovation
  • Location: Jinshi High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Hunan Province
  • Total investment: USD1.4 million (RMB 10 million)
  • Product plan: 1,000 t/a of inositol (feed grade) 30,000 t/a of 58.5% liquid sugar mixture (composition: sucrose 60%, fructose 20%, glucose 20%)
  • Process flow:
    • Utilizing enzymes produced by microbial fermentation to hydrolyze starch, followed by purification and refining processes to produce inositol.
    • Sugar juice (with 15% sugar content) undergoes a series of refining and purification processes, including high-temperature sterilization, adsorption decolorization, plate and frame filtration, and concentration, to obtain the liquid sugar mixture.
  • Labor quota: 30 new employees
  • Working system: Three 8hr shifts per day, 300 working days per year.
  • Construction period: 6 months

 

Currently, Norchem Biotech can produce 10,000 t/a of saccharification enzyme, 300 t/a of adenosine, 2,000 t/a of feed-grade calcium pantothenate, 2,000 t/a of food-grade alanine, and 1,500 t/a of cytidine.
