Wanhua Chemical has three more projects

Recently, Wanhua Chemical published on its official website the draft environmental impact reports of three projects, namely the Wanhua Chemical (Penglai) Co.
, Ltd.
flavor enhancer project with an annual output of 04,200 tons, the ethylene polyvinyl chloride production line technical transformation project of Wanhua Chemical (Yantai) Petrochemical Co.
, Ltd.
, and the expansion project
of ethylene oxide ethylene oxide derivatives with an annual output of 360,000 tons of Wanhua Chemical Group Co.
, Ltd.

01 annual output of 0.
42 million tons of flavor enhancer project

It is reported that the flavor enhancer is β-ionone, and its molecular formula is C₁₃H₂₀O, which is the raw material
for the production of W ester.
In May this year, Wanhua Chemical announced its nutrition project, and the product of the nutrition project is W ester
.

According to reports, W ester is widely used in animal feed, nutritional supplements and food processing industry, is a necessary nutrient for human and animal life maintenance activities, has irreplaceability, is a "10,000-year product", its demand is long-term stable
.

As a major feed consumption and production country in China, there is a huge demand for W ester; With the improvement of China's living and consumption standards, the demand for nutritional fortifiers represented by W ester is increasing
.

Due to the high technical threshold of W ester production, there has been no new entrant in the past 15 years, and at the current growth rate, the existing production capacity will not be able to meet consumer demand
in 10 years.
In view of the extremely high added value of W ester products and its application in animal feed, food processing, nutrition and health, as well as the high technical threshold of W ester synthesis process, the development of complete process technology is of great significance
.

In the future, after the Wanhua Chemical flavor enhancer project is put into operation, it can realize the industrialization of W ester products, which can not only give full play to the advantages of the enterprise industrial chain, improve the added value of products, enhance the competitiveness and influence of enterprises in the industry, and further improve the ability of enterprises to resist market risks, but also participate in international competition, enter the international high-end market, and achieve economies of scale
.

02Technical transformation project of ethylene PVC production line

It is reported that the polyvinyl chloride plant is an important chlorine-consuming process production device in the ethylene project, which is used to consume hydrogen chloride gas by-products of the TDI plant built in Wanhua Yantai Industrial Park, reduce the waste hydrochloric acid output in the park, and alleviate the market pressure and environmental protection pressure
caused by hydrochloric acid.

The main contents of this technical transformation project are:

VCM (vinyl chloride) process replaced two oxychlorination reactors, and VCM production capacity increased from 400,000 tons/year to 480,000 tons/year; The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) process adds 2 polymerization kettles, 2 centrifuges and 1 set of cold demineralized water deoxygenation system, the PVC production capacity remains unchanged at 400,000 tons/year, and the quality of PVC products is improved; Construction of supporting VCM loading and EDC loading facilities
.

After the transformation, the VCM process capacity of Wanhua Chemical Yantai Base will reach 480,000 tons/year, which will help balance the hydrogen chloride production capacity of the park.
The PVC process capacity remains unchanged, the quality of PVC products is improved, and the high-quality PVC reaches 400,000 tons/year
.

According to reports, the project will start construction in November 2022 and be completed and put into operation
in December 2023.

03 Expansion project with an output of 360,000 tons of propylene oxide ethylene oxide derivatives

Wanhua Chemical has significant scientific research, technical advantages and rich production and sales experience
in the field of combined polyether.
With the increasing concentration of the industry, fully relying on the company's upstream and downstream industrial chain resources, giving full play to the strategic synergy with MDI and TDI, we are committed to becoming a leading enterprise
in the global polyether industry by 2025.

At the same time, downstream customers hope that Wanhua Chemical will provide more customized services
in differentiated polyether, differentiated EOD and other segments.
In order to meet customer needs and actively assume social responsibility, Wanhua Chemical plans to build an expansion project
with an annual output of 360,000 tons of propylene oxide ethylene oxide derivatives.

It is reported that the project is an expansion project, which is based on fully digesting and absorbing domestic and foreign process technology, relying on the operation experience of the existing polyether equipment, developing advanced technology, many product varieties, good quality, and good market adaptability
.
The expansion of the project will further expand the market share of Wanhua polyether, enhance the brand image of Wanhua and its voice in the polyether polyol industry, lead the long-term and stable development of the industry, and create a new brand
of Wanhua in the polyurethane industry.
