Description of Investment Components:

​

• Machinery:
  The machinery investment includes the essential equipment required for sorbitol production, such as starch slurry preparation systems, enzymatic hydrolysis reactors, vacuum evaporators, crystallizers, dryers, filtration systems, blending units, CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) systems, and all related process lines and automation systems. These machines ensure efficient conversion of starch or glucose into sorbitol and the subsequent drying, refining, and packaging of the final product.

• Land & Construction:
  The land and construction costs cover industrial-zoned land and all necessary physical infrastructure, including production buildings, administrative offices, raw material and finished product storage areas, laboratory units, social facilities, and landscaping areas. These facilities are designed to support the full operation of the sorbitol production plant, ensuring that the production process from raw material intake to final product storage and distribution is seamless and efficient.

• Total Investment:
  The total investment estimate includes all essential components such as detailed process engineering, mechanical and electrical installation, infrastructure setup, environmental protection units (e.g., wastewater treatment), product handling systems, licensing, and utility connections (electricity, water, gas). These components are vital for establishing a continuous, large-scale sorbitol production facility that can operate efficiently and in compliance with industry standards.

• Auxiliary Equipment:
  Auxiliary systems such as steam boilers, cooling towers, air compressors, water purification systems (e.g., reverse osmosis), control panels, backup power generators, and utility monitoring systems are not included in the machinery prices listed above. These systems must be quoted separately based on the specific capacity and operational needs of the facility.

• Project Design:
  Project planning, feasibility studies, and factory layout design services are provided independently and are not part of the above investment figures. These services can be customized according to local regulations, raw material availability, and market targets. They are essential for ensuring that the facility is designed for optimal efficiency, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness.

• Technical Service & Consulting:
  Turnkey installation is included within the investment scope. After commissioning, remote monitoring, process optimization, and technical support services will be provided free of charge for a period of 700 days following plant handover. This ensures that the plant operates at peak efficiency and that any technical issues are promptly addressed to maintain continuous operations.
