A progress meeting was held for Inner Mongolia’s first-ever project of its kind, which has a capacity of 300,000 tons per year for BDO, biodegradable plastics, and PTMEG. Recently, a progress meeting was held for this project, designed by Chengda Company; it is the world’s first facility of its kind with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of BDO. The project belongs to Inner Mongolia Junzheng Chemical Co., Ltd., and it involves the production of 2×600,000 tons of BDO per year, as well as 2×1,000,000 tons of PBAT/PBS/PBT/PTMEG as part of a green and sustainable industrial complex. The Junzheng Group BDO project is located in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, and construction officially commenced on April 8. The project utilizes technology licenses from Invista Company. Previously, Chengda Company has collaborated with Invista to successfully build more than 20 sets of BDO plants in China, whose total production capacity accounts for over 80% of the country’s current production capacity. The 300,000-ton-per-year BDO plant, the result of this renewed partnership between the two parties, will significantly raise the global record for BDO production capacity. It offers advantages in terms of reducing investment costs, lowering energy consumption and production costs, decreasing the number of operators required, and saving space needed for the facility. The first phase of Inner Mongolia Junzheng Chemical Co., Ltd.’s green and sustainable industrial project, which involves an annual production capacity of 2×600,000 tons of BDO as well as 2×1000,000 tons of PBAT/PBS/PBT/PTMEG, has a total investment of 20.7 billion yuan. This phase includes the construction of a facility for producing 1 million tons of PBAT/PBS/PBT/PTMEG per year, a facility for producing 600,000 tons of BDO per year, a hydrogen production plant using carbon-based materials, a facility for producing 800,000 tons of formaldehyde (55% wt) per year, a facility for producing 200,000 tons of adipic acid per year, as well as supporting facilities for raw material production, acetylene production, and various utility systems and auxiliary production facilities such as solid material storage and transportation systems, circulating water stations, sewage treatment plants, and reclaimed water treatment plants.
