Ten years of rapid development in chemical technology – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with you here; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Be careful with fire as the heat increases in July. ------------------------------------------- On November 3, 2016, the China National Research Institute of Daily Chemical Industry announced that the 10,000-ton industrial facility built using its own proprietary technology had passed the expert inspection organized by the National Development and Reform Commission. This marks a major breakthrough in the industrialization of research achievements in green non-ionic surfactants in our country, represented by ethoxylated natural oils. This is our country’s first industrial production facility for new types of green non-ionic surfactants such as ethoxylated oils, with a capacity of 10,000 tons per year; it includes two jet ethoxylation units with a capacity of 45,000 tons per year each, as well as one PRESS V generation unit with a capacity of 10,000 tons per year. The device features a high level of safety, good consistency across product batches, low energy consumption per ton of product, reaching international advanced standards. The China Research Institute of Daily Chemical Industry has utilized this facility to industrialize independently developed technologies such as ethoxylated natural oils, ethoxylated fatty acid methyl esters, narrow-range alcohol ethers, and modified ethoxylated oils. As a result, a new series of low-foam functional surfactants has been created, setting an example for the development of surfactants with streamlined production processes, greener manufacturing methods, and enhanced functional properties. To date, the device has been in continuous and stable operation for 7 months, and enterprise standards for 21 products across 5 categories have been established. These new products will play a positive role in driving the upgrading of the industry and the transformation of its products.
