On June 17, the People’s Government of Shouguang City issued a public notice prior to the approval process for 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 facility 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.

No new land for construction will be required. The project involves renovating the existing facilities for producing 20,000 tons per year of butyl octanol (registration number: Weijingxintoubei 046) and 6,000 tons per year of nonyl cyclohexanol (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.
