On January 14, the Qinzhou Port Area of the China (Guangxi) Free Trade Pilot Zone issued a notice stating that it intended to approve the environmental impact assessment report for Guangxi Dasheng New Materials Co., Ltd.’s project aimed at producing 30,000 tons of isopropyl acetate per year, along with its associated downstream industrial processes. Project Name: Project for Annual Production of 30,000 Tons of Isopropyl Acetate and Related Downstream Products
Location: Qinzhou Port Area, China (Guangxi) Free Trade Zone, Qinzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region
Developer: Guangxi Dasheng New Materials Co., Ltd.
Nature of Construction: New construction
Contents and Scale of Construction: The project covers an area of approximately 17,466.75 m2 (equivalent to 26.2 mu), and it includes raw material storage areas, finished product storage areas, production facilities, auxiliary buildings, warehouses, water tanks, as well as various supporting utility systems. The project has an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons of isopropyl acetate. The scope of this construction does not include off-site raw material delivery pipelines and pipe galleries, nor does it cover projects such as off-site wastewater pipelines. Construction period: The project is scheduled to begin construction in January 2025, with a construction period of 12 months. Total project investment and environmental protection investment: The total investment for the project is 160 million yuan, of which 2.4 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures; this represents 1.5% of the total project investment. Once completed, the project will be able to produce 30,000 tons of isopropyl acetate per year, while generating small amounts of by-product mixed esters (containing isopropanol, isopropyl ether, C3–C6 compounds, and a small amount of isopropyl acetate) as well as heavy hydrocarbons (with molecular weights above C9).
