The 150,000-ton polyether polyol plant supporting Tongkun’s 3 million-ton PTA facility in Qinzhou has been put into operation. Recently, good news came from Sandun Petrochemical Island in Qinzhou Port. The 150,000-ton/year polyether polyol plant in the first phase of the Tongkun Qinzhou Green Chemical Industry Base, constructed by China National Chemical Engineering Sixth Construction Company, has successfully produced qualified products, thus accelerating the commissioning of this green chemical industry base with a total investment of over 20.9 billion yuan. Located in the Qinzhou Port area of the Guangxi Free Trade Pilot Zone, and taking advantage of the port’s strategic location as well as its role as a node on the Belt and Road Initiative, the project covers an area of 2,400 mu and features a cluster of various facilities. Eight core facilities, including 3 million tons of PTA and 600,000 tons of PDH, operate in coordination with each other, supported by cross-sea pipeline bridges and a complete set of auxiliary facilities, thus forming a closed-loop industrial ecosystem. The polyether polyol plant that has been put into operation constitutes a key component of the new materials sector; it fills the gap in the supply of high-end green chemical products in the region, providing high-quality raw materials for downstream industries such as textiles and building materials.
