Over the past decade, there has been tremendous development in chemical technology; truly, it’s a glorious era for China’s prosperity and strength! This post serves as a starting point for discussion—the more people participate, the livelier the conversation becomes. With you here, Huachuan becomes even more wonderful! This is a continuously updated compilation post regarding “Ten Years of Great Development in Chemical Equipment”; everyone is welcome to join the discussion: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Let us enhance our awareness of quality and strive for high-quality development. On September 12, 2023, Huafon Chemical announced that the expansion project for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Huafon Chongqing Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Chongqing Chemical”), aimed at increasing its adipic acid production capacity to 1.15 million tons per year (Phase VI), has recently been put into trial operation. The announcement states that the project utilizes advanced domestic production technologies, offering advantages such as low energy consumption, low emissions, low pollution, and a circular economy approach. Once the project is put into operation, the overall scale of the company’s adipic acid production will increase further, which will help reduce unit costs and improve production efficiency, thereby further enhancing the company’s overall competitiveness. It will take some time before the company’s aforementioned projects reach full production capacity; investors are advised to be aware of the investment risks. Basic information on the project: Project name: 1.15 million tons/year adipic acid expansion project (Phase 6). Project investor and constructor: Chongqing Huafeng Chemical Co., Ltd. Total investment: 275,500 million yuan. Process technology: Production of adipic acid using the cyclohexene method. Project location: Baitao Chemical Industrial Park, Fuling District, Chongqing. It is understood that work on this sixth phase of the project commenced officially in August 2022; after 10 months, the production was successfully completed on May 14, 2023. The installation project for the adipic acid plant in Chongqing Huafeng Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 1.15 million tons per year adipic acid expansion project (Phase 6) is located in the Huafeng Industrial Park, part of the Green Petrochemical Base in Baitao Chemical Industry Park, Fuling District, Chongqing City. This facility boasts the largest adipic acid production capacity of its kind in the world. The \"cyclohexene process\" used in this project represents an advanced production technology in China; it features low energy consumption, low emissions, minimal pollution, and aligns with principles of circular economy. This approach helps to reduce production costs and improve efficiency, thereby enhancing the company’s overall competitiveness and enabling it to reach the standards of world-class enterprises during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
In June 2010, Huafeng Group established itself in the Baitao New Materials Technology City. Over the past thirteen years, the Chongqing Huafeng New Materials Industrial Park has grown from nothing to something substantial; six companies were established there, including Chongqing Huafeng Chemicals, Huafeng Chongqing Spandex, Huafeng Aluminum Industry, Chongqing Huafeng New Materials, Chongqing Huafeng Polyamide, and Chongqing Huafeng Nylon. Twenty projects have been launched in this park, with sixteen of them already completed. The park now houses the world’s largest adipic acid production facility as well as the world’s largest spandex production plant. At present, in addition to the 1.15 million tons per year adipic acid production facility that has already been built, Huafeng has also established production capacities in the industrial park of Baitao New Materials Technology City, including 200,000 tons per year of **, 160,000 tons per year of differentiated spandex, 200,000 tons per year of polyurethane resin, 200,000 tons per year of thermally conductive composite materials, and 50,000 tons per year of nylon 66 chips. It is the world’s largest producer of adipic acid as well as the world’s largest spandex production base. The company was also the first to develop adiponitrile technology, filling a gap in China’s manufacturing capabilities. On June 29, 2022, Chongqing Huafeng’s 300,000-ton/year adiponitrile project (Phase 3) and its 300,000-ton/year nylon 66 integrated project (Phase 2) were completed, while the 300,000-ton/year nylon 66 integrated project (Phase 3) commenced construction on the same day. Once Phase 3 of the 300,000 tons per year adiponitrile project is put into operation, Chongqing Huafeng will have the capacity to produce 200,000 tons of adiponitrile and 200,000 tons of adipamide per year.
Looking at the decade-long development of chemical technology, praising the prosperity and strength of modern China
Like! In recent years, the downstream chemical industry related to petrochemicals has developed rapidly, and it is moving in the direction of sustainability and energy efficiency – great!
