Henan Yusweet’s 140,000 t/a of Functional Sugar Alcohols Project

On 22 Dec., the local ecology & environment bureau accepted and published the environmental impact report (re-submission) for Henan Yusweet Co., Ltd. (Henan Yusweet)’s 140,000 t/a of functional sugar alcohol project.

 

Project overview

  • Nature: Expansion
  • Location: Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province
  • Total investment: RMB1.3 billion, of which RMB8.48 million is for environmental protection
  • Construction content:
    • A crystalline xylitol production line: add selected equipment, share part of the existing 20,000 t/a of xylitol line; no reduction in current 20,000 t/a of xylitol capacity.
    • A flexible production line: add selected equipment, share part of the existing 20,000 t/a of erythritol line; only one product produced at a time, with no impact on the maximum 20,000 t/a of erythritol capacity.
    • A Stand-alone crystalline allulose production line.
  • Product plan:
    • 30,000 t/a of crystalline xylitol;
    • 40,000 t/a of crystalline maltitol, or 20,000 t/a of sorbitol, or 35,000 t/a of maltitol syrup, or 2,000 t/a of arabinose, or 1,000 t/a of xylo-oligosaccharide, or 10,000 t/a of xylose;
    • 2,000 t/a of crystalline allulose
  • Main raw materials: xylose, 75% maltose syrup, 65% xylose concentrate, crystalline glucose, 70% DS xylose mother liquor, xylo-oligosaccharide feed liquor, 75% fructose syrup, etc.
  • Labor quota: no additional employees
  • Working system: four-shifts/2-rotation, 12 hours per shift,, 330 working days per year
  • Construction period: 12 months

 

At present, Yusweet could produce 20,000 t/a of xylitol and 20,000 t/a of erythritol.

Zhoushan Huakang Completed Stage 1 of Phase I of the Corn Deep-processing Project

According to the environmental protection acceptance monitoring report for the completion publicized n 2 Apr., Stage 1 of Phase I of the 1,000,000 t/a of corn deep-processing healthy food ingredient project of Zhoushan Huakang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Zhoushan Huakang) has been completed.

Stage 1 of Phase I overview

  • Nature: New construction
  • Location: Zhoushan Grain Industrial Park, Dinghai Industrial Park, Zhejiang Province
  • Total investment: USD261.4 million (RMB1876.72 million), of which USD9.24 million (RMB66.3658 million) is for environmental protection
  • Construction content: A crystalline sorbitol production line, with supporting facilities for bipolar membrane hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide production, methanol cracking for hydrogen, environmental protection facilities, and public utilities.
  • Product plan: 45,100 t/a of solid sorbitol and 1,300 t/a of liquid sorbitol
  • Key raw materials: DX glucose liquid.
    • Currently, the front-end production lines are in the gradual commissioning stage, so DX glucose liquid is purchased for production.
    • Hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen are self-produced.
  • Labor quota: 700 employees
  • Working system: Three 8hr shifts per day, 300 working days per year
  • Progress:
    • Approval of EI report: 24 Feb., 2023
    • Commence: Oct. 2022
    • Completion: 30 Oct., 2024
    • Equipment Commissioning: 1 Nov., 2024 -28 Feb., 2025
    • On-site environmental monitoring: 20-21 Jan., 2025, and 6-11 Feb., 2025

 

Stage 2 of Phase I is under construction, including a corn starch slurry production line, a liquid maltitol production workshop, and a liquid sugar alcohol production line.
