Environmental impact assessment for the 80,000 tons/year neopentyl glycol project approved! 2025-07-25 Recently, the Emergency Management and Ecology and Environment Bureau of Shizishan High-Tech Zone issued a public notice titled \"Announcement on the Acceptance of the Environmental Impact Assessment Documents for Cuiling Qianyi New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.’s 80,000 tons per year neopentyl glycol production project.\" According to the disclosures, Tongling Qianyi New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.’s 80,000-ton/year neopentyl glycol production project uses an oxidation-reduction method to manufacture neopentyl glycol. The project is constructed in two phases, with each phase having a production capacity of 40,000 tons/year of neopentyl glycol. Supporting facilities such as storage areas for raw materials and finished products, loading/unloading areas, finished product warehouses, office buildings, air compressor stations, and refrigeration units are also built as part of this project. Once completed, the facility will have an overall production capacity of 80,000 tons/year of neopentyl glycol. On April 17, 2024, the Economic Development Bureau of Tongling Shizishan High-Tech Industrial Development Zone conducted the registration for this project. Basic project information: Project name: 80,000 tons/year neopentyl glycol project. Project type: New construction. Constructor: Tongling Qianyi New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. Location: North side of Tonggang Road, Henggang Chemical Industry Park, Tongling City, Anhui Province. Scope and scale of construction: The project uses oxidation-reduction methods to produce neopentyl glycol, and it will be built in two phases; both phases will have an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons of neopentyl glycol each. Supporting facilities include storage areas for raw materials and finished products, loading/unloading areas, finished product warehouses, office buildings, air compressors stations, and refrigeration units. Upon completion, the plant will have an overall annual production capacity of 80,000 tons of neopentyl glycol (equivalent to 100% wt% neopentyl glycol). Engineering investment: The total investment for the project is 1,203.16 million yuan, of which the amount allocated to environmental protection measures is approximately 15.1 million yuan, accounting for 1.26% of the total project investment. The Tongling Henggang Chemical Industrial Park adheres to the approach of extending the industrial chain and enhancing the value chain, aiming to reach the leading standards in the international industry. It guides enterprises to adopt an innovative, efficient, intensive, and eco-friendly development model, promotes the transformation of traditional industries toward higher-end, smarter, greener, and more service-oriented forms, helps these industries improve their standards, enhance their technologies, create better brands, and increase their profitability, thereby achieving a shift from low-end production to high-end manufacturing. Leveraging the resources and industrial advantages within the park, development will be pursued through consolidation, chain supplementation and strengthening, as well as high-end expansion, in order to improve the quality of development. The key industries to be developed are the sulfur-phosphorus-titanium-iron industry chain and the chemical new materials industry chain. At present, the park is actively working to develop and strengthen the industrial chain for chemical new materials, introducing the coating industry as part of these new materials in order to create a complete industrial chain and rapidly form industrial clusters. Tongling currently has a well-developed industrial cluster of raw materials for the pigment industry. However, the main raw materials used in coatings, in addition to pigments, also include resins, fillers, additives, etc. To address this shortfall, Tongling Qianyi New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. plans to invest in building a new pentaerythritol production facility with an annual capacity of 80,000 tons in the Henggang Chemical Industry Park in Tongling. Neopentyl glycol, the product of this project and a key component of resins in coatings, can be used as a plasticizer in polyester resins, unsaturated polyester resins, oil-free alkyd resins, polyurethane foams, and elastomers. It can help develop the coating industry in the Tongling area, as well as the industrial chain for new chemical materials, thereby fostering the formation of industrial clusters.
