Let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】A continuously updated summary thread – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** At the Third National Continuous Hydrogenation Catalysis Forum (CHC2025) held in Xiamen recently, a significant development that attracted widespread attention within the industry was announced: the world’s first set of large-scale single-atom catalytic fixed-bed continuous hydrogenation systems for producing special amine materials, developed jointly by Xiamen JiaH2 Technology Co., Ltd. and its downstream clients, has been 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 Peng 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 standards and thus helping to overcome the challenges associated with industrial upgrading. As a high-tech enterprise of ** level incubated by the Kay Geng 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 the downstream industries and enhance the international competitiveness of China’s fine chemicals industry. Leveraging its core technological advantages, Jiaqing Technology has established a diversified industrial application portfolio. In the field of new materials, its catalytic technologies have overcome the challenges associated with synthesizing ultra-high-purity monomers for high-end materials such as para-aramid, polyimide, and specialty nylon, thereby contributing to 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 customers reduce catalyst costs by up to 40% and thereby improving 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. During the forum, two new fixed-bed continuous hydrogenation catalysts, 5 sets of technical packages for continuous hydrogenation of monomers in the field of chemical new materials, as well as one new material project that represents a key challenge, were introduced by Liu Shengjie, director of the Continuous Hydrogenation Technology Center at Xiamen University and founder of Jiaxiu Technology. These offerings attracted considerable attention, and agreements were reached for cooperation on several of these projects. Academician Zheng Nanfeng, director of the Jiageng Innovation Laboratory, said that continuous hydrogenation catalysis technology is a key link for the large-scale use of green hydrogen and the upgrading of the fine chemicals industry, and Jiahydro Technology has explored viable pathways for the transformation of scientific research results. JiaHydro Technology is a high-tech enterprise incubated by Xiamen University’s Jiageng Innovation Laboratory. Leveraging its internationally leading hydrogen catalysis technology, it has embarked on a new journey toward industrialization, filling the technological gaps in hydrogen production and utilization in Haicang District and injecting strong momentum into the region’s hydrogen energy industry chain. Founded in November 2022, Jiaqing Technology leverages the top-tier high-level talent team from Xiamen University and the Jiageng Innovation Laboratory. Its cutting-edge achievements in the fields of surface and interface chemistry and green catalysis have enabled it to develop a comprehensive innovation capability spanning “basic research, technological breakthroughs, and industrial applications”.
