The multi‑functional technological upgrade project for Workshop No. 5 of Huanggang Zhongyou Bio has completed its filing, adding an annual production capacity of 1,200 tons of alkaloids.

Recently, the multifunctional technological upgrade project for Workshop No. 5 of Huanggang Zhongyou Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has been officially completed and publicly announced for record‑keeping purposes. The project involves a total investment of RMB 20 million and is being implemented by upgrading and renovating the existing plant facilities and utility infrastructure, thereby making full use of the available production space. It also introduces new integrated core process equipment for reaction, distillation, and extraction, creating a flexible, multi‑functional alkaloid production line.

The project’s preliminary work is progressing steadily. As early as December 24, 2025, the company successfully obtained the administrative permit for the safety facilities design review of this technological upgrade project, completing prerequisite compliance tasks such as safety plan validation and process risk assessment, thereby laying a solid safety foundation for project construction and subsequent commissioning.
Upon completion of the upgrade, the workshop will add an annual production capacity of 1,200 tons of alkaloids. Leveraging the company’s long‑standing expertise in natural extraction, biocatalysis, and precision separation and purification, the new production line will be capable of flexibly manufacturing a diverse portfolio of high‑purity alkaloid products, including pharmaceutical‑grade nicotine, nicotine salts, and other alkaloid derivatives, thereby meeting the varied demands of the pharmaceutical raw materials, nicotine‑replacement products, and fine‑chemical markets.

This round of technological upgrading adheres to the principles of green manufacturing, leveraging a mature distillation‑extraction process system to continuously optimize solvent recovery and waste‑treatment workflows, thereby enhancing raw‑material utilization and reducing both unit‑product energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Meanwhile, the flexible production‑line configuration enables rapid response to customized orders from domestic and international customers, further refining the company’s capacity matrix and strengthening its supply‑chain delivery capabilities.

As a high-tech enterprise and a specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative SME in Hubei Province, Huanggang Zhongyou Bio has been consistently deepening its technological innovation and capacity upgrades in the alkaloid sector. The implementation of this round of technological transformation will further strengthen the company’s competitive edge in the high-purity alkaloid market, drive its continued expansion into domestic and international pharmaceutical and health‑product markets, and contribute to the high‑quality development of Huanggang’s fine biochemical industry chain.
