The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone should talk about safety and know how to handle emergencies; risks and hazards need to be identified and addressed. -------------------------------------------------- On June 23, it was reported by the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone Management Committee that the new material projects for acrylates and superabsorbent resins developed by Tianjin Bohai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as \"Bohai Petrochemical\") have reached a crucial stage. As the \"heart of\" this project, its 160,000 tons per year acrylic acid production facility recently completed its trial run with a single batch of feed, successfully producing high-quality products that met all standards. This breakthrough marks the official transition of the company from the traditional petrochemical industry to a new stage of integrated development in high-end new materials. Acrylic acid is a key raw material for superabsorbent resins and various environmentally friendly coatings, and the operating efficiency of the related production facilities directly determines the quality of products throughout the entire industrial chain. This trial run with feed material achieved the goal of \"success on the first attempt and excellence from the start\"; the unit operated smoothly, with all operational parameters meeting the specified standards. It is reported that this acrylic plant employs advanced green production technologies currently used in the industry, meeting high standards in terms of energy savings, consumption reduction, and environmental emissions. The products produced feature high purity and good stability, allowing them to be widely used in various popular downstream applications such as consumer hygiene products, high-end industrial coatings, and environmentally friendly materials. According to the relevant officials at Bohai Petrochemical, throughout the entire process from construction to commissioning, the technical team maintained strict control over construction quality and safety standards, carefully adjusted process parameters, and effectively overcame numerous technical challenges, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the core equipment. The successful commissioning of this acrylic production facility not only extends the industrial chain downstream, significantly enhancing the company’s core competitiveness in the field of high-value-added new materials, but also lays a solid foundation for the coordinated testing of subsequent facilities such as those for superabsorbent resins. Once the project reaches full capacity, it will effectively address the weaknesses in the region’s new materials industry ecosystem and stimulate growth in related upstream and downstream industries. In recent years, against the backdrop of vigorous efforts in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone to promote high-quality development in the manufacturing sector and to drive the petrochemical industry toward a more refined form, Bohai Petrochemical’s transformation represents an important effort to strengthen and enhance the green petrochemical industry chain. It also serves as an example of regional chemical companies striving to move toward more refined and high-end production methods, and it holds significant importance for optimizing the industrial structure and improving the resilience of industrial and supply chains. As the company’s new materials project moves from the trial production phase to one of high and stable output, its industrial driving effect will gradually become apparent, providing new practical impetus for the advanced, sustainable, and intelligent development of the new materials industry in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone. A responsible official from Bohai Chemical said that in the future, the company will continue to steadily bring all its production facilities online and reach full capacity, while continuously optimizing production processes, in order to drive the high-quality development of the enterprise through practical actions and results.
