BOHUA’s 200,000-ton/year propylene oxide plant, combined with a 450,000-ton/year styrene plant, successfully produced qualified products during its initial trial run

On June 27, the first trial run of Tianjin Bohua’s \"integration of two processes\" relocation and renovation project – the 200,000-ton/year propylene oxide production facility coupled with a 450,000-ton/year styrene production facility (referred to as the POSM facility) – was successful, with qualified products being produced. As an important part of the industrial chain for the Bohua project cluster, POSM device products are widely used in fields such as fine chemicals and polymer materials. This production facility utilizes Repsol’s co-oxidation process technology from Spain; it is considered a **supported project** as it replaces the outdated chlorohydrin process, resulting in significant improvements in energy conservation and emission reduction.
It is equivalent to capacity replacement; **the elimination of propylene oxide plants using the chlorohydrin process should begin in the coming years. Many companies make such advance plans, such as Binhua.
Jilin Petrochemical carried out a major capacity replacement
