Recently, the world’s first 10,000-ton-scale continuous hydrogenation system for the synthesis of special amine materials using single-atom catalytic fixed-bed technology, developed jointly by Xiamen Jiaxi Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd. and its downstream customers, was successfully installed and is now operating stably. The commissioning of this milestone project marks the transition of China’s continuous hydrogenation catalysis technology from the laboratory stage to large-scale industrial application. It provides strong impetus for the domestic substitution of high-end chemical materials, and also demonstrates the significant achievements of the Kay Chang Innovation Laboratory in translating the results of key research and development projects into practical applications. It is reported that the continuous hydrogenation catalysis technology is the result of the transformation of key achievements from a **key research and development program. Its main advantage lies in the ability to produce materials of higher purity at lower catalyst costs, making it easier to achieve polymer-grade and electronic-grade quality levels and thus helping to overcome the challenges associated with industrial upgrading. As a high-tech enterprise of ** level incubated by the Kaigeng Innovation Laboratory, Jiaxiang Technology has overcome the industry challenges associated with the synthesis of special amine materials thanks to its independently developed, internationally leading technology. This complete set of equipment reduces catalyst costs by 80%, breaks the foreign technological monopoly, and enables full import substitution for special amine materials. High-purity specialty amines, as key monomers for new materials such as specialty engineering resins, high-performance fibers, and specialty rubbers, have previously relied on imports for a long time, resulting in high prices. The commissioning of this 10,000-ton facility will significantly reduce production costs in related industries and enhance the international competitiveness of China’s fine chemical industry. Leveraging its core technological advantages, JiaHydro Technology has developed a diversified portfolio of industrial applications. In the field of new materials, its catalytic technologies have helped overcome the challenges associated with the synthesis of ultra-high-purity monomers for advanced materials such as para-aramid, polyimide, and specialty nylons, thereby supporting the upgrading of China’s new materials industry. Currently, China’s production capacity for para-aramid is expanding rapidly, and its global share is set to rise to 41% by 2030. The technological advancements achieved by Jiaxiu Technology are providing the material foundation necessary for the growth of this industry. It is reported that in the pharmaceutical industry, Jiaqing Technology’s catalyst products have been successfully used in the synthesis of steroid-based anti-tumor drugs, helping clients reduce catalyst costs by up to 40% and enhancing the cost-effectiveness of domestically developed innovative drugs ； In the field of hydrogen energy, catalysts for hydrogen production via water electrolysis are operating stably in MW-class PEM and hundred-kilowatt-class AEM water electrolysis systems; their performance is on par with that of imported products while costs are reduced by 35%, thereby contributing to the scaled development of the green hydrogen industry.
