Clicks: 5. On March 27, a commitment ceremony for the civil engineering work of Cangzhou Xuyang Chemical Construction Co., Ltd.’s caprolactam expansion project was held. The construction tasks assigned to the Second Branch of Thirteen Chemical Construction include projects such as hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis facilities (lignite pulping, gasification, slag water treatment, and flaring), with a contract value of 200 million yuan. Cangzhou Xuyang Chemical Co., Ltd.’s caprolactam expansion project is a large-scale modern chemical facility that produces liquid caprolactam using raw materials such as lignite coke, benzene, fuming sulfuric acid, and alkali solutions. The project is located within the Cangzhou Xuyang Chemical Industrial Park, with a total investment of 4.5 billion yuan. It mainly involves the construction of a caprolactam plant with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons, a ** plant with an annual capacity of 270,000 tons, a hydrogen peroxide plant with an annual capacity of 343,000 tons (35%), an ammonium sulfate plant with an annual capacity of 450,000 tons, a hydrogen production plant using lignite with a capacity of 80,000 Nm3/h, as well as a synthetic ammonia plant with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons, along with supporting raw material facilities and utility systems. Upon completion of the project, the company’s annual sales revenue could reach 10 billion yuan, with total profits and taxes amounting to 2 billion yuan; it could also create 1,000 jobs. The project utilizes world-class manufacturing technologies, offering advantages such as high production capacity per production line, low investment costs, low consumption of raw materials and utility resources, low benzene consumption per ton of caprolactam, minimal generation of by-product sulfuric acid, and excellent product quality. All the construction parameters meet standards that far exceed those in use currently. It can be applied to the production of various types of finely woven or high-speed spun textiles as well as special engineering products, laying a solid foundation for the development of a new polyamide materials industry in the Bohai New Area in the future. Upon completion of the project, Cangzhou Xuyang Chemical’s capacity for caprolactam production will reach 500,000 tons per year, making its capacity in a single facility the highest in the country. Cangzhou Xuyang Chemical Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Xuyang Group; it was established in 2011 and is a chemical enterprise focused on the production of polymer materials. In line with the requirements of Hebei Province’s 12th Five-Year Plan, Xuyang Group is committed to turning the Cangzhou industrial park into a domestic \"new materials industry hub\".
