On 27 Oct., Kokdala Jinhai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Kokdala Jinhai) convened a rally under the banner “Unite to Win the Commissioning Battle.” Over 400 employees gathered to herald 600 kt/a of Corn Deep-Processing & Cogeneration Project’s transition into the trial-production phase.
“The rally sounds the final charge before start-up,” said the deputy general manager for production. “Beginning today, we will commission around the clock. External power, instrument air and utilities are already connected. Corn feed-in is slated for mid-November, with full commercial operation targeted for late March 2026. A detailed schedule has been drafted to reach name-plate capacity and performance as quickly as possible.”
