Recently, in the Dainanhai Petrochemical Industrial Zone, at the construction site of Guangdong Isco’s high-end new material project for the production of C4 and C5 compounds, the sound of rammer hammers hitting the ground could be heard repeatedly. Excavators, bulldozers, and transport vehicles moved back and forth, while workers wearing safety helmets were busy working in an orderly manner, creating a vibrant scene of construction activity. Huang Qincong, the deputy on-site project commander, said that the final round of dynamic compaction is currently being carried out here; once the compaction ratio meets the required standards, pile driving can proceed after the inspection is successful. Currently, there are a total of 60 people at the project site, including workers and managers. The site clearing and dynamic compaction work were completed by the end of May, and construction of the underground works began in June. The high-end new material project for the production of tetra- and pentacarbon compounds in Guangdong, initiated in September 2022, has been designated as a \"key project in the preparatory stage for development in Guangdong Province for 2023\". The project covers an area of 634 mu, and it is planned to build 7 units, including a carbon pentane separation plant with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons and a maleic anhydride plant with an annual capacity of 150,000 tons. Once operational, these facilities will be able to produce products such as isoprene and weather-resistant resins with high softening points and low color intensity. Design work and equipment procurement are currently progressing steadily. “The project meets the ‘three contributions, one high standard, and one strength’ requirements of the Dainanhai Petrochemical Industrial Zone, with mechanical completion scheduled for April 30, 2024. ”Huang Yihuang, director of the technology center at Guangdong Isco New Materials Technology Development Co., Ltd., said that the Isco project, with a total investment of 7.33 billion yuan, will be able to generate an annual profit of 898 million yuan and annual tax revenues of 450 million yuan once it is completed. As a leading enterprise in China’s C5 industry, Isco has been operating in the Huizhou Daya Bay Petrochemical Industrial Zone for many years; it possesses significant technical advantages in this sector and has conducted thorough and accurate research on the development of such petrochemical parks. “The Dainanhai Petrochemical Industrial Zone boasts favorable advantages in terms of ports, location, and industry, making it suitable for the development of new petrochemical industry clusters. In particular, the petrochemical and refining integration project in Guangdong is already in operation, and by-products such as pyrolyzed C5 and C4 can be supplied directly as raw materials, providing excellent conditions for building factories there. ”This is Huang Yihuang’s most direct assessment of the advantages of attracting investment in the Greater South China Sea.
