Does anyone know about the AT88?
Thread Content
Does anyone know about the AT88? It seems that this cannot be done in China yet; the relevant technologies have to be imported from abroad, as they are primarily used to promote animal growth.
Does anyone know? Those in sales can do it too
AT88 is Rodime 88 – doesn’t anyone here know that?
AT88 is also known as methionine, and it comes in both solid and liquid forms. Currently, there are no production facilities for it in China; its main use is as an additive in animal feed. Bohai Chemical used to carry out trial production, but it has been shut down for many years due to environmental protection and other reasons. Methionine is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid that is closely related to the metabolism of various sulfur-containing compounds in living organisms. When methionine is lacking, it can cause loss of appetite, slowed growth or no increase in weight, enlarged kidneys, and iron accumulation in the liver, ultimately leading to liver necrosis or fibrosis. Methionine can also utilize its methyl group to methylate toxic substances or drugs, thereby playing a role in detoxification. Therefore, methionine can be used to prevent and treat liver diseases such as chronic or acute hepatitis and cirrhosis, as well as to alleviate the toxic effects of harmful substances such as arsenic, trichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, pyridine, and quinoline. Methionine: It is one of the basic building blocks of proteins; it is the only essential amino acid that contains sulfur. It plays a role in the transfer of methyl groups within the body, as well as in the metabolism of phosphorus, and in the synthesis of adrenaline, choline, and creatine ； It is a precursor for the synthesis of proteins and cystine, and it serves as a methyl donor. Its raw material is phosgene, so. . . . . . . . . .
Production isn’t available in the country yet; only Lanxing plans to launch a project of this kind in Tianjin, but it seems that the environmental impact assessment has not been approved yet
5# halfeye’s methionine from Blue Star has been sent to Nanjing; I wonder if work has started there yet? ? ?
In 2008, China BlueStar (Group) Corporation and its subsidiary Andesun planned to build a new methionine production facility in China, with operations set to begin in 2011. According to China Blue Star, the new factory is located in the Lingang Industrial Zone in Tianjin. It has a methionine production capacity of 140,000 tons, with a total investment of 3.7 billion yuan; the construction period was from 2008 to 2010 ； In addition, Chongqing Ziguang Tianhua Methionine Co., Ltd. will invest in the construction of a facility within the Zhenjiang Fine Chemicals Park in Chongqing, with an annual production capacity of 60,000 tons of DL-feed-grade methionine. As by-products, 30,000 tons of carbon disulfide, 75,000 tons of anhydrous sodium sulfate, and 10,000 tons of sulfuric acid will be produced. Supporting facilities and utility systems will also be built as part of this project. The project is constructed in two phases: Phase 1 has an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of methionine, while Phase 2 has an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of methionine. The first phase of the project is currently under construction, with an estimated total investment of 2 billion yuan. Construction period: 2009–2011. Although there has been a shortage of methionine in the domestic market in recent years, with the commissioning of projects by China Blue Star and Chongqing Ziguang Tianhua Methionine Co., Ltd., there is a possibility of an overcapacity for methionine production in China ； Hehe, this is something I looked into recently! There is a high demand for this product in China; the problem is the lack of relevant technology. Blue Star spent 4 billion RMB to acquire Adisseo in order to obtain the methionine production technology
The information on 7# spc1212 seems a bit outdated; AndySu’s methionine project at Blue Star has been moved to Nanjing. I just don’t know how things are progressing there now ? ? Stay tuned – this is a major issue for methionine in China
8# hangni521: It’s very difficult to find information on this. Could you reveal why they chose Nanjing instead of Tianjin, what the scale of the project is, and what manufacturing processes are being used? There is a significant shortage of methionine in China at the moment, making it a profitable business opportunity. It is said to be a raw material for producing methionine; China cannot produce it and has to import it. In that case, the profits won’t be high. I wonder if Blue Star has the technology to produce this raw material
4# cy0404020: Additional information – Methionine is one of the most important amino acids required for livestock and poultry to synthesize animal proteins; it serves as a nutrient needed to fortify feed and as an additive to restore amino acid balance. Methionine is also the only essential amino acid that contains sulfur. In the feed industry, there is a high demand for methionine; among amino acid-based nutritional feed additives, methionine accounts for 60%, lysine accounts for 30%, and other amino acids account for about 10%. In the pharmaceutical industry, methionine is one of the main components of amino acid infusions and compound amino acids. Taking advantage of methionine’s anti-fatty liver effect, it can be used to produce liver-protecting agents. Amino acids are also among the essential amino acids for the human body; they can be used as nutritional supplements in the processing of foods and health products. Import and export situation in the country over recent years: Year, Total imports in 10,000 tons, Total exports in 10,000 tons. 2004: 8.58, 0.04; 2005: 6.64, 0.08; 2006: 8.06, 0.08; 2007: 8.99, 0.10; 2008: 9.07, 0.07; 2009: 10.00, 0.10
9# spc1212 I also want to know the answers to your questions:dizzy: ,,,
