COFCO's 1000-ton PHA plant successfully put into operation at one time

On June 6, COFCO Biochemical Energy (Yushu) Co.
, Ltd.
successfully completed the one-time commissioning of the 1,000-ton/year PHA plant construction project
.

The PHA pilot plant is currently the first fully automated and highly standardized full-process production plant in China
.
The project started construction on August 12, 2021, completed in May 2022, and started stand-alone commissioning.
In late May, the water-vapor combined transportation was successfully completed.
On May 28, the project was officially commissioned and the qualified product was obtained recently
.

The construction of the PHA project has been successively supported by the major R&D projects of COFCO and the key R&D special plans of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The project relies on the core strains and small-scale test processes of Tsinghua University and COFCO Biotechnology R&D Innovation Center.
The combination of production, education and research has successfully transformed the world's leading scientific and technological achievements into the whole process of efficient production of high-quality PHA
.
As a demonstration base for bio-based material production and R&D of COFCO Biotechnology, the PHA pilot line of Yushu Company focuses on the pilot process development of various new biotechnology products and the process exploration of PHA pilot production in the COFCO Biotechnology R&D Innovation Center, and further Compiled the process package of 10,000-ton PHA production line, accelerated the expansion of production, and seized the opportunity of the global PHA market
.

The construction of the project adopts advanced technology and equipment at home and abroad.
The production process has undergone step-by-step expansion, fermentation and product separation, and the biomass and PHA yields have reached the expected level.
The pilot line of the whole process was officially put into use, marking the establishment of COFCO Biotechnology in Jilin Province.
The demonstration area of ​​the whole industry chain of bio-based degradable materials has begun to take shape, forming a dual-product industrial pattern of PLA and PHA, and comprehensively opening a new chapter in the field of biodegradable materials, and gradually embarking on industrial integration, high-end products, The high-quality development fast track with leading technology contributes to COFCO's efforts to ban plastics, reduce carbon emissions and build ecological civilization
