Corbion announces completion of its new circular lactic acid plant
in Thailand
Corbion, the Amsterdam-listed sustainable ingredients
company, today announced the mechanical completion of its new
circular lactic acid manufacturing plant in Rayong, Thailand,
consistent with the timeline previously disclosed.
Lactic acid produced by this first-of-its-kind facility will
have the lowest associated carbon footprint compared to any
manufacturing technologies currently used. The recycling of
processing chemicals eliminates the use of lime and, subsequently,
the formation of gypsum as a by-product. This novel method will be
more cost-effective compared to conventional schemes.
"We are very pleased to announce mechanical completion of this
state-of-the-art facility,” said Olivier Rigaud, CEO Corbion. “This
significant step forward demonstrates our commitment to meeting the
evolving needs of our customers, shareholders, and the planet. This
is Corbion walking the talk of sustainable business and further
value creation. It shows we can, and we are, pioneering better ways
of doing business that make a positive impact on our world.”
With critical mechanical systems now successfully installed,
commissioning of the facility has begun, which includes the
functional testing of equipment, and systems. The commissioning
phase is expected to be complete near the end of Q1 2024, with
startup beginning shortly thereafter.
Corbion’s stated purpose – to preserve what matters – is evident
in the strong safety culture maintained over the past 2.5 years of
the new plant’s construction. The project, which has involved more
than 2,000 contractors simultaneously onsite, achieved more than 5
million working hours without a single lost-time incident.
“This kind of remarkable achievement could not be possible
without every person involved making safety their top priority,”
said Gerwin Meulenbeld, VP Projects-Operations. “We appreciate the
dedication, expertise, safety mindset, and sense of urgency that
all our employees and contract partners have brought to work every
day of this very special project.”
