DETAILS
Solvay has started hydrogen peroxide production
at its new plant in Zhenjiang, China.
This plant has a capacity of 60,000 tonnes per year
and will meet
* the growing local customer demand for
high quality products in addition to
* supplying demand from Solvay’s own businesses
in the semiconductor and flavor industries.
Solvay’s Peroxides Global Business Unit (GBU)
built the plant in
Solvay’s chemical manufacturing platform
located within
Zhenjiang Green Chemical & New Material Industry Park.
The platform already hosts two other Solvay GBUs,
allowing all businesses at the site to benefit
from shared infrastructure, logistics and services.
The plant is the first in China to use
Solvay Peroxide’s innovative,
world leading technology with improved efficiency,
while further promoting sustainability in operations
by significantly reducing effluents and energy usage.
The plant will serve
the increasing local demand primarily
for high-concentration and high-quality grades
of hydrogen peroxide used in demanding applications
within the chemical, electronics, water treatment
and aquaculture industries.
A significant portion of the plant’s capacity
will also supply growing demand from
Solvay's GBUs Aroma Performance and Special Chem.
Solvay’s network of hydrogen peroxide manufacturing plants
now totals 16 worldwide, lifting its overall capacity
and further consolidating its global industry leadership.
Georges Crauser,
President of Solvay's Peroxides GBU
“From this new efficient production platform
we can support the strong and growing demand
in China for premium hydrogen peroxide grades
and extend our innovative offerings to our customers,
increasingly in highend sectors which have been emerging
in the local markets over the past few years,”
