HMF thousand-ton line is in stable production by Zhejiang Sugar Energy Technology. The order has already been delivered.

Zhejiang Sugar Energy  Technology Co., Ltd. completed the world's first 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) production line. The production line has achieved continuous and stable production. The whole process is smooth. Order delivery to the top ten European companies has been completed. The success of this project has laid a solid foundation for the low-cost large-scale production of HMF and will drive the development of Polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate(PEF), 2, 5-Furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA),2, 5-Furandimethanol(FDM) and other downstream derivatives production process.

HMF is one of the important bio-based platform compounds. Through chemical reactions such as hydrogenation, oxidation, esterification, halogenation, polymerization, and hydrolysis, it can be used to prepare a variety of functional intermediates and aromatic polymers, stretch starch, cellulose, The value chain of biomass resources such as sucrose and seaweed.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. As a national high-tech enterprise, Sugar Energy has always adhered to the spirit of innovation, stability, and long-term development, and is dedicated to the development of furan-based products. It has long-term cooperation with the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the non-metal catalysis team to continuously promote furan-based products. R&D and innovation of new materials.

The stable operation of Sugar Energy in the HMF production line marks a breakthrough in industrialized production technology in the field of new materials, realizes the integrity of the HMF industry chain, and lays the foundation for the development of the Chinese bio-based industry.
