Looking for competitive advantage

Sichuan alcohol industry from the 50's ethanol production using sugar molasses, starch and 70 years of raw materials for ethanol production by more than 50 years through the development process, after decades of development, especially in recent years, the rapid development of alcohol industry , the traditional mode of formal alcohol industry experiencing major changes in the development, that is, from the simple use of raw starch to ethanol production using advanced technology development and management of alcohol production. Established through the utilization of the company from the disposal of pollutants in the search for new economic growth point development strategy, has implemented three major utilization project: the utilization of corn oil extraction works Germ; carbon dioxide recovery projects; high-protein feed recycling and pollution material handling engineering. Cong Yang, general manager of the company, told reporters, through the implementation of three projects in the enterprise obtained from the comprehensive utilization of a billion dollars of income, completely change the effectiveness of restricting alcohol production bottlenecks, but also for the sustainable development of alcohol industry has laid a solid foundation.

Extend the industrial chain of specific practices

Specifically, the company's practice of extending the industrial chain is:

First, corn production and corn germ oil extraction. Consumption of alcohol requires a lot of raw starch, while the main component of corn, the endosperm (starch) accounted for 82% of germ accounted for 12% of the skin and the tip of the crown, 6%, consumption of alcohol, the main advantage of most of the starch endosperm, while germ in the fat content as high as 34% - 47%, 45% of unsaturated fatty acids, after crushing, leaching of refined corn germ is a high-quality edible vegetable oil, so the extraction and utilization of corn germ will greatly improve the added value of products, corn germ meal after oil extraction of the embryo is also an excellent protein feed ingredients. According to reports, the company's implementation of the comprehensive utilization of corn germ oil extraction project, the annual extraction of 10,000 tons of corn germ, corn oil can be produced 2,100 tons, 7,500 tons of germ meal, increase the sales revenue of nearly 2000 million. If you do not extract the germ, it will become a waste pollutants, and thus pollute the social environment.

Second, the recovery of alcohol and derivatives of pollutants in the production process - carbon dioxide, fusel oil. Alcohol fermentation process will produce large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere if you do not recall the atmosphere will cause pollution. It is understood that, since 2005, the Company and Chongqing Xin Chen gas companies to build an annual output of 40,000 tons of liquid carbon dioxide recovery unit, 0.5 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of alcohol recovered, the recovered carbon dioxide is widely used in food, feed, metallurgy , defense and other industries, production has been in short supply products, increase sales revenue each year 2,400 million.

Ethanol production into another substance for the fusel oil, if the alcohol in the fusel oil is not extracted, will pollute the water environment, the company's annual recycling 300 tons of fusel oil, on the one hand increase the economic benefits of more than 200 million, on the other hand to ensure that product quality is more important is to achieve efficient use of waste.

Third, high-protein feed from the extraction of pollutants, to achieve zero emissions of pollutants. To the company's annual output of 80,000 tons of alcohol calculated, if not control, annual emissions of approximately 11 million tons of waste mash (mash the CO for the waste 50000mg / L, BOD50000mg / L) organic matter content of 5 million tonnes, Spent mash yeast in the body is rich in protein, dry matter content of the lees in the content of the raw material is much higher than the same time, mash waste material also contains a lot of carbohydrates, can be a protein or production of other cell culture carbon sources of bioactive substances, if not recycling, not only waste resources but also caused serious pollution of the environment, directly affect the sustainable development of industrial alcohol, so the use of waste production and high-protein feed mash is a fundamental solution to pollution effective way for overall economic efficiency. The company introduced from Norway decanter centrifuge, disc drying, four-effect falling film evaporation of the whole concentration of advanced technology and equipment, high-protein feed, DDGS production, investment and operation of the device not only to achieve zero emissions of pollutants ethanol production, And alcohol per ton of recoverable protein feed 0.8T, is the main raw material for beverages with an ideal alternative to soybean meal, opened up new sources of feed, according to 1200 yuan per ton of dry feed per year to increase sales of 64 million yuan.

Fourth, alcohol, mash a small number of waste anaerobic aerobic fermentation plant for processing, the resulting combustion gas for energy, boiler ash after burning about 30,000 tons per year, sold to cement plants as accessories.

It is understood that enable the company to obtain better utilization of the economic benefits of waste pollutants annually from the benefits obtained through the utilization in the billion or more.

Extension of industry chain increased potential for enterprise development

Through the development of recent years in the industry chain to get the benefits, so that the company recognized more fully implement the scientific concept of development, in accordance with the "reduction, reuse, recycle" principle, the realization of economic, environmental and social benefits of unity is the only way for the development of enterprises, for which the total, said Yang will continue to explore new resources, comprehensive utilization of industrial development chain and a new way, as soon as possible to become a model of circular economy enterprise and effort.
