Sugar Factory

Over the past decade, CDI has made significant breakthroughs in the design and construction of sugar industry design and construction. In May 2022, in the desert of Minya Province, Egypt, the Canal Sugar Refinery, constructed by CDI successfully produced the first ton of refined white sugar with a daily output of 5700 tons. This giant industrial facility covering an area of 190000 acres is not only the world's largest sugar refining production line, but also the key to Chengdu Building Materials Institute's entry into the global market.

The core competitiveness of the Canal Sugar project in Egypt lies in its leading global technology integration capabilities. The secondary evaporation, vacuum compression technology, and vertical continuous white sugar crystallization system adopted by Chengdu Building Materials Institute in the project have achieved multiple cycles of steam utilization. This innovative design makes the system the largest and most capable white sugar crystallization system in the world in terms of volume and processing capacity per unit time.


The significance of the Canal Sugar sugar factory project in Egypt goes far beyond the construction of an industrial facility. It marks the transformation of CDI from a traditional engineering contractor to a comprehensive technology solution provider, opening up a new path for Chinese engineering enterprises to globalize. Such benchmark projects will undoubtedly become an important business card for China's engineering technology to go global, contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to global industrial upgrading and sustainable development.
