Xingfa in Inner Mongolia plans to build a facility for producing 50,000 tons of glyphosate, as well as a new plant for producing 30,000 tons per year of sodium pyrophosphate. Recently, information regarding Xingfa Technology Co., Ltd.’s plan to construct this new sodium pyrophosphate production facility, along with a plant for producing 50,000 tons per year of glyphosate and the related intermediates, as well as upgrades to the utility systems, was published on relevant websites. New 30,000 tons/year sodium pyrophosphate production facility project. Constructor: Inner Mongolia Xingfa Technology Co., Ltd. Nature of construction: Expansion. Location: The project is located within the existing factory complex of Xingfa Company in the Wuhai Wuda High-Tech Industrial Development Zone. Project investment: The total investment amounts to 109.65 million yuan, to be funded entirely by the company itself. Land area: This project is located within Xingfa Company’s existing factory site (the project covers an area of 3,200 m2), with no additional land required. Construction details and scale: A new unit for the targeted conversion of sodium pyrophosphate will be built, with a capacity to handle 300 tons of concentrated mother liquor per day, ensuring that the processing needs for phosphorus-concentrated liquid and salt-concentrated liquid are met; the annual production capacity will be 30,000 tons of sodium pyrophosphate per year. The product development project involves the upgrade and renovation of a facility for producing 50,000 tons per year of glyphosate, along with related intermediates and utility systems. The investment in this project amounts to 600 million yuan. It aims to technologically upgrade the glyphosate production facilities built in 2011 and 2014; the existing 30,000-ton capacity facilities that are inefficient and outdated, as well as the 20,000-ton capacity facility that has already been shut down, will be phased out. In their place, a new facility capable of producing 50,000 tons per year of glyphosate, along with 54,000 tons per year of dimethyl phosphite, as well as systems for wastewater treatment and storage, will be constructed within the existing plant site. After the renovation, the production capacity of this facility remains unchanged at 50,000 tons per year of glyphosate. Inner Mongolia Xingfa Technology Co., Ltd. has three manufacturing sites in the Wuda Industrial Park, namely the glyphosate plant, the industrial silicon plant, and the silicone plant. The glyphosate plant has 2 boilers, each with a capacity of 2×130 tons per hour, along with a 30 MW/H turbine to power the plant on its own. Its production capacities include 150,000 tons per year of caustic soda, 100,000 tons per year of glyphosate, 114,000 tons per year of dimethyl phosphite, and 150,000 tons per year of phosphorus trichloride.
