The Plant was constructed to expand upon the amino acid manufacturing plant (first construction phase) in the Rayong Province; approximately 180km south east from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand; in response to the global increase in the demand of amino acid. Total area is approximately 210,000m², which is about 4.5 times the size of Tokyo Dome.

The Plant implements latest technologies for manufacturing high quality amino acid. The second construction phase included delivery of large fermentation tank and other various manufacturing equipment; chiller, compressor, and other utility equipment; waste water treatment system; and building frame and building for those equipment.

Highly efficient turbo chiller was introduced using the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) between Japan and Thailand, which enable the reduction of use of electricity and contribute to the achievement of the greenhouse gas reduction target of Japan.

In addition, BIM made using 3D-CAD software developed by SHINRYO CORPORATION was utilized from the design stage and a 3D model made in Japan was presented to the customer for approval.
