Recently, the mechanical and electrical installation project for the small-series amino acids production facility of Hengtong (Inner Mongolia) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. officially commenced in the light industry products sector of the Tuoketuo Economic Development Zone in Hohhot. As a core component of living organisms, amino acids are widely used in various fields such as the food industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, as well as medicine and healthcare. The industrial base established by Hengtong Biology focuses on the production of L-tryptophan, L-arginine, L-isoleucine, and feed proteins; these products enjoy strong market demand and broad application prospects. This project focuses on technological innovation and industrial upgrading, injecting new forms of productive capacity into the biopharmaceutical sector. Through genetic modification technology, the fermentation level of the product was increased from the traditional 50 grams to 60 grams, resulting in a significant improvement in product quality. At the same time, the project focuses on the development of smart and green factories; its production lines feature fully automated design and AI-based control systems, enabling an efficient production mode that allows for one-button operation and periodic manual monitoring. This approach has set a precedent in the industry for leveraging artificial intelligence to improve production technologies. “Construction of the project began in mid-June 2024; currently, the infrastructure work has been fully completed, the factory building is enclosed and the windows have been installed, with all the main processing equipment in place. ”Gao Lun, project director of Hengtong (Inner Mongolia) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., explained that in order to ensure trial operation by the first quarter of 2026, the project team overcame the challenges associated with construction in winter by activating the heating system in the factory buildings in advance, so as to maintain indoor temperatures that meet the requirements of the manufacturing process. Currently, the indoor installation work for winter is progressing in an orderly manner, with plans to officially enter the testing phase in March next year. It is understood that once the mechanical and electrical installation project for the small-scale amino acid industry base is completed, it will be able to produce over 14,000 tons of amino acid products per year, with annual sales revenue estimated at 500 million yuan; this will enable the employment of more than 200 people.
