Desalination of Calcium Pantothenate

【Project Overview】

Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5), a vital feed additive and pharmaceutical ingredient, experiences continuously growing market demand. The traditional fermentation process for producing Calcium Pantothenate often faces challenges in subsequent purification stages, including low desalination efficiency, significant loss of active components, and serious environmental concerns.

This project utilizes innovative electrodialysis technology to achieve efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective desalination of the fermentation broth. With a designed system capacity of 200 cubic meters per day, the project aims to stably control the product water conductivity at ≤3000 µS/cm while ensuring a Calcium Pantothenate yield of no less than 97.0%. This significantly enhances product purity and market competitiveness, setting a new industry benchmark.

【Project Highlights】

• Industry Breakthrough: Large-Scale Electrodialysis for Calcium Pantothenate
  A single train system handles a substantial capacity of 200 m³/day, demonstrating the exceptional reliability and great potential of electrodialysis technology in the large-scale, continuous production of vitamins, providing a replicable success model for the industry.
• Outstanding Economic Benefits: High Product Yield & Minimal Loss
  Industry-Leading Yield: The system achieves a stable, high yield of (97.0 ± 1.0)%, meaning nearly all active Calcium Pantothenate is recovered, drastically improving raw material utilization and economic returns. Strictly Controlled Loss Rate: The loss rate of the active substance is maintained below 4%, far lower than traditional process levels. This not only directly reduces production costs but also demonstrates the technology's excellent selective retention capability for the target product.
• Stable Desalination Performance & Product Consistency
  Stable & Controllable Desalination: The product water conductivity index of ≤3000 µS/cm ensures the high purity of the final Calcium Pantothenate product, meeting the demands of high-end markets. Automated Consistency: The system's automated controls guarantee highly consistent product quality between batches.
