From 2016 to 2025, Anhui Haoyuan Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Haoyuan Chemical) saw its revenue soar from 3.397 billion yuan to 20.16 billion yuan, while its profits increased from 169 million yuan to 1.36 billion yuan – growth rates that far exceeded the industry average. Behind these figures lies a \"transformation\" that this established chemical company accomplished over 9 years – a remarkable shift from a traditional coal-based chemical enterprise to one focused on fine chemicals and new materials. Not long ago, a reporter followed the **Special Working Group for the Relocation and Renovation of Hazardous Chemicals Manufacturers to the new Hao Yuan Chemical Park. The slogan \"Green Chemistry, Better Life\" was particularly prominent against the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds. The data displayed on the electronic screens in the central control room illustrated the \"rebirth\" of this established chemical company. 25 kilometers away, the old factory site that had held memories for over 40 years has completed the acceptance process for its relocation from the city area to an industrial park. The comparison between the old and the new reflects the historical changes in a company’s development. As the urbanization process in Fuyang accelerates, enterprises that were once located on the city’s outskirts are gradually surrounded by newly built residential areas. The tall chimneys are only 100 meters away from the balconies of residential buildings, making it a typical example of a factory located in a city area. Fan Diancai, Party secretary and chairman of Haoyuan Chemical, recalled: \"The three challenges of insufficient safety distances, increasing environmental pressure, and limited technological upgrades made it extremely difficult for the company to develop.\" In 2016, the growth rate of corporate revenue declined in the lower segments of the industry, and profits remained stagnant for three consecutive years, highlighting the development bottlenecks in traditional coal chemical industries. ” A turning point came in 2016, when ** and Anhui Province introduced policies regarding the relocation and renovation of hazardous chemical manufacturing enterprises. With the support of various provincial and municipal authorities, Haoyuan Chemical officially launched its project to move out of urban areas and into industrial parks. This enabled the company to make three significant transitions: from producing only fertilizers to manufacturing a range of high-end chemicals, from focusing on scale expansion to emphasizing quality and efficiency, and from traditional manufacturing methods to green, intelligent production processes. In the new factory complex, intelligent production has become the norm. In the central control room, the reporter saw that large electronic screens displayed in real time the operational data of various production lines. This area incorporated multiple intelligent platforms such as the SIS safety instrument system and the AMS equipment management system, which enabled real-time monitoring of the entire production process and significantly improved production efficiency and management standards. On the path of industrial upgrading, Haoyuan Chemical has accelerated its progress even further. “During the process of moving out of cities and into industrial parks, enterprises have made significant efforts to develop new types of chemical industries such as chemical new materials, high-end chemicals, and fine chemicals, with the total investment in these projects exceeding 18 billion yuan. Among them, Haoyuan Chemical’s morpholine product line has seen its production capacity rise to become the highest in Asia ； The self-developed diethylene glycol amine fills a gap in the domestic market, with a purity of 99.9% ； The commissioning of the project with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons of bottle-grade polyester and the project with an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons of nylon 66 (Phase I) have both filled gaps in Anhui Province. In terms of environmental protection, the environmental protection facilities found throughout the new factory site reflect the company’s commitment to sustainable development. The wastewater zero-discharge optimization project carried out in collaboration between Haoyuan Chemical and the School of Chemical Engineering at East China University of Science and Technology reduces the organic content in wastewater by 80% and increases the recycling rate of waste salts to 95%, providing an innovative solution for the green transformation of the chemical industry. During the critical period of the company’s relocation, Haoyuan Chemical received comprehensive policy support from the government. The Fuyang Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has adopted an innovative \"take small steps but move quickly\" approach of \"building one new factory and relocating one old factory\", which ensures uninterrupted production while enabling the smooth shutdown of the old factory sites. Today, standing at a new point of development, Haoyuan Chemical possesses a garden-like factory environment as well as an ecological system based on recycling. In the future, Haoyuan Chemical will focus on building an ecosystem for the new materials industry, striving to lift its revenue to a new level.
