Recently, the second public announcement regarding the environmental impact assessment for the technology upgrade project aimed at improving efficiency in the 20,000-ton erythritol production facility of Shandong Qingda Xiangchi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was released. Project Name and Overview: Project Name: Technical Transformation Project to Improve Efficiency in the 20,000-ton Erythritol Production Facility. Constructor: Shandong Qingda Xiangchi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Location: East of Xingye Third Road and north of Xingbo Third Road in the Boxing Economic Development Zone, within the existing factory premises of Shandong Xiangchi Jianyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Nature of the project: Renovation. Industry category: C2832 – Manufacturing of bio-based and starch-based new materials. Total investment: 302,933,200 yuan. Land area: 51.07 mu (34,048.36 m2). Main construction contents and scale: Utilizing the existing production equipment in the 20,000-ton erythritol production facility, 39 sets of equipment such as distillation towers, decolorization systems, chromatographic separation units, and fire protection systems will be purchased. Upon completion of the transformation, the facility will be able to produce 20,000 tons of bio-based new material, 1,3-propanediol, per year, along with 4,100 tons of by-product, 2,3-butanediol, thereby achieving improved efficiency. Once the project is completed, the existing 20,000-ton erythritol production facility will cease operations.
