According to the monitoring report publicized on 31 Dec., 2024, Hulun Buir Dongbei Fufeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Dongbei Fufeng) has completed its glutamate efficient strain development and 200,000 t/a of amino acid production line project.
Project Overview
- Nature: Reconstruction and expansion
- Location: Lingdong Industrial Development Zone, Hulun Buir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
- Total investment: USD49 million (RMB352.42 million), of which USD0.48 million (RMB 3.48 million) is for environmental protection
- Construction contents:
- Construction of small and pilot production amplification platform:
- Purchased 81 sets of related small and pilot R&D equipment to further enhance its research and development capabilities and small and pilot scale amplification platform.
- Corn processing process:
- Reconstructed by replacing a small amount of equipment to ensure production stability.
- The corn processing capacity increased from 1,000,000 t/a to 1,052,657 t/a, and the capacity of starch slurry (dry base) increased from 700,000 t/a to 736,800 t/a.
- Sugar production process and glutamic acid production process:
- Relying on the existing production workshop, replaced, transformed, and added a small amount of equipment to ensure production stability.
- Using the successfully upgraded glutamic acid production strains, the capacity of sugar solution (dry base) increased from 510,000 t/a to 545,000 t/a, and the capacity of glutamic acid (used to produce sodium glutamate) increased from 200,000 t/a to 250,000 t/a.
- Labor quota: No new hires
- Working system: Three 8hr shifts per day, 330 production days per year.
- Process:
- Approval of EI report: 30 Oct., 2020
- Construction starts: 23 Nov., 2020
- Completion: 30 May, 2024
- On-site environmental monitoring: 21-24 Oct., 2024, and 8-9 Dec., 2024
- Construction of small and pilot production amplification platform:
Currently, Dongbei Fufeng can process 1,052,657 tons of corn to produce 100,000 t/a of threonine, 250,000 t/a of sodium glutamate, 102,100 t/a of corn husk, 49,470 t/a of corn gluten meal, and 78,950 t/a of corn germ.
