Feed-grade lysine: two product routes

Our advantages

01

Fermentation processes and strains

Processes are matched to strain metabolism for high acid-production and conversion rates. Production strains are developed for amino-acid processes.

02

Innovative product finishing

Short process routes and reduced investment, targeting high capacity and yield while reducing water, electricity and steam consumption.

03

DCS automation and quality control

Centralized DCS control integrates processes and automation, reducing manual intervention and labor requirements while supporting stable production and quality control.

04

Comprehensive technical service

Senior engineers carry out installation, commissioning, production training and management support. Within applicable national standards, the service aims for an improved plant environment, user-friendly operation and achievement of design capacity and performance.

Wet-milling starch production

Our advantages

01

Closed-cycle corn wet milling

Integration of advanced processes and production concepts to improve main-product and by-product yields and quality. Typical figures: 70% dry-basis starch yield and over 5.5% dry-basis gluten meal yield.

02

Chinese-made main equipment

Advanced equipment made in China forms the main equipment package to reduce capital cost.

03

Accurate, automated process control

Centralized DCS control supports high automation, reduced manual intervention, precise control and stable processes.

04

Closed-circuit water reuse

Process-water reuse reduces thermal consumption and effluent. Typical figures: less than 0.6 t steam and less than 2 t wastewater discharge per tonne of commercial starch, reducing operating cost and treatment load.

F42 / F55 fructose syrup production

Our advantages

01

Mature processes and coordinated equipment

Clear, mature process routes, coordinated equipment and simple layouts, with a small footprint and low investment requirements.

02

Low-consumption production

Low steam, electricity, acid/alkali and water consumption per unit of product. Uses mature maltose and fructose production technology.

Wastewater, odor, biogas power and sludge

Our advantages

01

Wastewater treatment technology

Combines “high-energy spiral electron-beam cracking” and “high-density ion-modified OH-based catalytic oxidation” equipment for wastewater treatment and odor removal in VOC-producing industries.

02

Process exhaust treatment

The absorption tower incorporates a high-frequency electric-field unit, a coupled ozone hydrodynamic-cavitation unit and O₃-enriched ion technology.

03

Customized service

Design is customized to product characteristics, discharge standards, funding and location, with applicable discharge requirements as the design criterion.

04

Intelligent energy recovery

Treated water returns to the plant water system and biogas-generated electricity returns to production. Its flowchart includes both clean-water reuse and compliant wastewater discharge; the project design determines the reuse and discharge arrangement.
