Issue 7, 2013 - Yangtze Petrochemical Bio-produced Succinic Acid Plant was completed

Yangtze petrochemical biological method for succinic acid production plant was completed

Recently, Yangzi Petrochemical Company's 1,000 tons/year biological fermentation succinic acid pilot plant was completed by CCCC, which is another green and low-carbon plant
built by CCCC.

The construction and operation of the plant is one of the important topics of Sinopec on the development of biomass resources to replace fossil resources, which is not only in line with China's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and the national medium- and long-term science and technology development plan, but also consistent with the strategic development direction of Sinopec to vigorously promote low-carbon technology, and also provides a new sustainable industrial model - biorefinery
。 The plant relies on the existing equipment and public engineering supporting facilities of Yangzi Petrochemical, adopts the biological fermentation method jointly developed by Sinopec and university scientific research technology to synthesize succinic acid, the design production capacity of the plant is 1000 tons / year, the annual working day is 300 days, and the annual production hours are 7200 hours
.
The biological preparation of succinic acid can use renewable biomass resources as the main raw material, and can use abundant agricultural and forestry biomass resources to ensure that bio-based succinic acid is not affected by
oil price fluctuations.
It can reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources such as oil and coal, achieve the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction, and make important contributions
to the development of China's circular economy and green GDP growth.
