250,000 Tons/Year Polyether Polyol Project is About to Stop Production

On July 26, Shenyang Chemical Co., Ltd. issued an announcement on shutting down the 250,000-ton/year polyether polyol project of its subsidiary Shandong Bluestar Dongda Co., Ltd.

Reason for shutdown

According to the development plan of Zibo High-tech Zone, the area where the 250,000-ton/year polyether polyol project is located is listed as a prohibited development zone. Chemical production, storage and other activities are prohibited in the zone, and must be relocated into the park, transferred to production or closed. In addition, the 250,000-ton/year polyether polyol project also faces the problems of aging equipment, high maintenance and maintenance costs, and high energy consumption, which cannot meet the company's high-quality development requirements. Shandong Dongda will successively shut down the production units of the 250,000-ton/year polyether polyol project and carry out process treatment, and at the same time change its domicile to Maqiao Chemical Industrial Park, Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province.

300,000 tons/year new high-performance polyether polyol project

Project name: Shandong Bluestar Dongda Co., Ltd. 300,000 tons/year new high-performance polyether polyol project

Project nature: new

Project Location: Maqiao Chemical Industrial Park, Maqiao Town, Huantai County, Zibo City

Project investment: The actual total investment is 2 billion yuan, of which the environmental protection investment is 35.08 million yuan

Project content: The actual construction of the project is 4 sets of production devices (A device, B device, C device, D device, including a total of 21 production lines) and a set of pilot equipment (new product development experiments and scale-up, not included in production capacity), storage Transportation facilities, public facilities and environmental protection facilities, with a total production capacity of 300,000 tons/year.

The project started construction in June 2019, and the construction of the enterprise will be completed in April 2021.
