Thread Content

Project Name: Project for the relocation and construction of a facility capable of producing 50,000 tons per year of rare earth catalytic new materials. Launch date: June 23, 2025. Location: Sichuan Province. Industry/Project Type: Chemicals and pharmaceuticals/Chemical raw materials and chemicals. Project owner: Runhe Catalyst Co., Ltd. Total investment amount: 1,000,000 million yuan. Current progress: The project is under registration. Construction location: Wutongqiao Chemical Industrial Park, Leshan City, Sichuan Province. Scope of construction: Relocation and construction of a production line for rare earth catalytic new materials with an annual output of 50,000 tons, along with related facilities. This includes building a production line for rare earth catalytic cracking catalysts with an annual capacity of 30,000 tons, a production line for methanol-to-olefins catalysts with an annual capacity of 17,300 tons, and a production line for functional molecular sieves with an annual capacity of 2,700 tons (200 tons/year of TS-1 molecular sieve, 500 tons/year of Beta molecular sieve, 2,000 tons/year of SAPO-34 molecular sieve). Phase 1 will involve the construction of the 30,000-ton/year rare earth catalytic cracking catalyst production line; Phase 2 will cover the construction of the 2,700-ton/year functional molecular sieve production line; and Phase 3 will involve the construction of the 17,300-ton/year methanol-to-olefins catalyst production line. The project covers an area of approximately 150 mu, with a building area of around 110,000 square meters. It mainly includes various types of buildings such as raw material warehouses, molecular sieve production workshops, catalyst production workshops, finished product warehouses, as well as R&D centers and analysis laboratories. The main production equipment includes crystallization tanks, exchange tanks, filters, flash dryers, roasting furnaces, gelation kettles, and spray dryers. Progress milestone: June 20, 2025. The project was registered in April 2025.
