Selected showcase projects in Africa

This plant for baby milk powder and protein drink concentrates was realised by Vogelbusch with a process licensed from a German producer for infant formula.

The process was adapted by Vogelbusch to local conditions with regard to raw material and climate, to allow simple handling and constant product quality as well. The enterprise is the first manufacturer of infant formula in the Middle East. The production capacity is 32 tons per day. The plant location, 19th of Ramadan City, is an industrial zone close to Cairo.

Raw sugar from local production was the substrate of choice when Citro Misr Co. of Egypt decided to set up a citric acid production. This raw material required a new approach in the fermentation process to assure the economic feasibility of the plant. The spore cultivation was adapted and the fructose utilization was optimized for the substrate.

The plant is designed for a capacity of 36,5 tons per day. Products include high grad citric acid monohydrate, anhydrate and trisodium citrate dihydrate.
