INEOS technology for PVC, VCM chosen by Qingdao Haijing project in China
Qingdao Haijing Chemical has selected technology from INEOS to use in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and suspension polyvinyl chloride (S-PVC) technologies for a project at its new site in Dongjia-kou Pro Port Industrial Zone, Qingdao, People’s Republic of China.
The 400,000 tpy VCM plant features production of VCM by pyrolysis of ethylene dichloride (EDC). The EDC will be produced using high and low temperature chlorination and INEOS’s unique two stage fixed bed oxychlorination process, the company said.
The 300,000 tpy S-PVC plant will produce a full range of suspension PVC grades from VCM using INEOS’ suspension process, including the use of INEOS Technologies proprietary PVC additives and recipes.
The two plants, forming part of a broader petrochemical complex, are scheduled to start up in 2013.
Peter Williams, CEO of INEOS Technologies, said: ”We are delighted to welcome Qingdao Haijing into our family of licensees. Qingdao Haijing has set a very clear strategy to become a leading vinyls player in China using best in class technologies for safety, ease of operation, product range and environmental impact.
Mr Li Ming, chairman of the board of QINGDAO HAIJING, said: “In order to be competitive in the PVC market, Qingdao Haijing performed a rigorous selection process and chose the most advanced technology available. Qingdao Haijing's cooperation with INEOS Technologies is just beginning. INEOS’ VCM and PVC technologies proved to be the safest, most environmental friendly and most efficient processes.”
