Dongbei Fufeng completed Glutamic Acid Expansion Project

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

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.
