Recently, the foundation stone was laid for the expansion project of Sinopec and BASF's integrated production base in Nanjing.

The integrated base is operated by Yangzi Petrochemical-BASF Co., Ltd., which is jointly invested by the two parties with a 50-50 share ratio. The two parties will expand the production capacity of propionic acid (PA), propionaldehyde (PALD), ethylene amine (EEA), ethanolamine (EOA) and refined ethylene oxide (PEO) at the site and build a new tert-butyl acrylate (TBA) unit .
