Brussels, Apr 26, 2023, Solvay to supply technology license for hydrogen peroxide mega-plant in China

Under the license, the Group will provide GHCAC with high-productivity hydrogen peroxide technology, a comprehensive process design package and operating expertise.

Solvay, a global market leader in specialty chemicals, has signed a license agreement with Guangxi Chlor-Alkali Chemical (GHCAC), which will enable the Chinese partner to build and operate a hydrogen peroxide megaplant at Qinzhou (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) designed to support its 300 kilotons propylene oxide (PO) production and other units on site.

Under this license, Solvay will provide its proprietary hydrogen peroxide mega-scale, high productivity process technology to GHCAC, including a dedicated process design package, operating expertise and a range of services to ensure the optimized and reliable production of the new megaplant. In addition, the company will also supply GHCAC with proprietary 2-amylanthraquinone (AQ), the key chemical contributing to the high productivity and
environmentally-friendly chemical processes of Solvay’s megaplant technology.

It has been further agreed that Solvay will have a hydrogen peroxide offtake after the megaplant starts up. This will support the strategic growth of Solvay’s hydrogen peroxide business in China, in particular in the southern area.

The propylene oxide is a versatile chemical intermediate for a wide range of materials in many industrial and commercial market segments, including polyurethanes, propylene glycol ethers and propoxylated organic specialty compounds.

 China Securities Intelligent Finance Chlor-Alkali Chemical (600618) announced on the evening of July 4 that Guangxi Huayi Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co., Ltd. has recently completed the industrial and commercial change registration procedures, and the 40% equity of Guangxi Chlor-Alkali held by Shanghai Huayi Holding Group Co., Ltd. has been registered in the name of the company. After the transaction is completed, the company holds 100% of the equity of Guangxi Chlor-Alkali and becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.

According to a previous announcement, the company plans to use its own funds of 685 million yuan to acquire 40% of the equity of Guangxi Chlor-Alkali, a subsidiary of the company, held by Shanghai Huayi. In 2019, Guangxi Chlor-Alkali invested in the construction of a 300,000 tons/year caustic soda and 400,000 tons/year polyvinyl chloride project in Qinzhou, Guangxi. During the construction of the project, due to the company's limited funds, the company's controlling shareholder Shanghai Huayi and the company jointly funded the construction. In November 2022, the Guangxi Qinzhou project was completed and put into production. This equity acquisition will help further enhance the company's control over Guangxi Chlor-Alkali, integrate resources and improve production and operating efficiency. In the long run, it is expected to increase the company's net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company.

According to the data, Chlor-Alkali Chemical mainly manufactures and sells caustic soda, chlorine and chlorine products, as well as polyvinyl chloride plastic resins and products. The company's annual production capacity of main products is: 1.02 million tons of caustic soda, 720,000 tons of ethylene dichloride, 600,000 tons of liquid chlorine, 200,000 tons of vinyl chloride, and 480,000 tons of polyvinyl chloride. The company has formed two production bases in Shanghai Chemical Industry Zone and Qinzhou, Guangxi. The two places have their own division of labor and key tasks, and they also cooperate with each other and develop in a balanced manner.
