The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone should talk about safety and be able to handle emergencies; identify and address potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- On June 10, the People’s Government of Shouguang issued a draft for public comments regarding the environmental impact assessment of Shandong Dadi Ruichen Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 50,000 tons per year butyl octanol production project. Project name: 50,000 tons/year butyl octanol production project. Nature of the project: Expansion. Location: Chemical Industry Park in Houzhen, Shouguang, Weifang City, Shandong Province, within the existing factory premises of Shandong Dadi Ruichen Chemical Co., Ltd. Project investment: The total estimated investment for the project is 10 million yuan, of which 1 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for approximately 10.0% of the total investment. Construction details: This project is located in the Houzhen Chemical Industry Park in Shouguang, and it will be carried out within the premises of Shandong Dadi Ruichen Chemical Co., Ltd. No new land for construction will be required. The project involves renovating the existing plants that produce 20,000 tons of butyl octanol per year (registration number: Weijingxintoubei 046) and 6,000 tons of nonyl cyclohexanol per year (project code: 2212-370783-89-01-738491). The existing equipment will be utilized, catalysts will be replaced, the production processes will be optimized, and the product portfolio will be adjusted. The main raw materials for this project are dodecane, butyl octyl alcohol residues (distillation residues of HW11 refined product, 900-013-11), hydrogen, etc. Through processes such as distillation, hydrogenation, and further distillation, n-butyl alcohol, octyl alcohol, and mixed high-carbon alcohols containing dodecane are produced. Once completed, the project will have an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons of butyl octyl alcohol, of which 15,000 tons will be n-butyl alcohol, 10,000 tons will be octyl alcohol, and 25,000 tons will be the mixed high-carbon alcohols containing dodecane.
