Russia strives to develop its grain processing and biotechnology industry to make use of its agricultural potential of renewable raw materials for industrial refinement. Investments in this field include facilities that use wheat as a feedstock to produce speciality goods such as starch and starch sugars (HFS, glucose syrup, maltose syrup) as well as special fermentation products and sorbitol. Valuable byproducts gained in these processes are gluten, animal feed and last not least A-starch.
Over the past year VOGELBUSCH Biocommodities GmbH has completed a number of conceptual engineering studies for such deep grain processing plants in Russia. Meanwhile several projects have proceeded to the basic engineering phase and permits are under way or granted. The plants are typically highly customized with a flexible product range for the best possible economic performance. Vogelbusch carries out the engineering for the process plants which are a combination of inhouse technologies and third party packages to be integrated in the facility.
Vogelbusch expertise in the field also includes detailed engineering and supply of complete process lines with proprietary technology, e. g. for the production of starch sugar syrup, for alcohol or yeast made from by-products of such complexes as well as the production of special fermentation products such a citric acid, using the starch isolated in the process or sugars thereof as substrates.
