According to Yuxiang Populus, at 3:15 p.m. on March 14, 2026, the #2 nitric acid waste heat recovery project was successfully commissioned in one go, further enhancing the company’s green development efforts through another successful round of technological upgrades. The nitric acid waste heat recovery technology renovation for Yuxiang Populus euphratica 1# was put into operation in conjunction on January 16, 2026, with successful commissioning. The nitric acid waste heat recovery retrofit achieves energy self-balancing through motor drive, allowing the system to completely eliminate its reliance on external high-pressure steam; the excess steam can be supplied to other companies’ steam networks. After the modification, the operational stability of the equipment will be significantly improved, the precision of process control will increase greatly, and at the same time, the problems of leaks and noise pollution in the original steam system will be completely eliminated. Xinjiang Yuxiang Populus euphratica has a 2×180,000 tons/year nitric acid plant, which came online in 2011.
