Solvay licenses hydrogen peroxide process technology to North Huajin Refining and Petrochemical Company
Solvay will license its leading-edge hydrogen peroxide technology to North Huajin Refining and Petrochemical Company for the manufacturing of 300.000 tpy of propylene oxide in its Panjin (Liaoning Province, China) facility, with a planned launch in 2026.
Solvay partners with customers through its advanced hydrogen peroxide technology to build efficient, reliable, and safe production facilities. For North Huajin, Solvay will provide its proprietary mega-scale process, complete with a process design package, operational expertise, and support services to ensure reliable, optimized output.
In addition, Solvay will supply proprietary 2-amylanthraquinone (AQ), the key chemical contributing to the high productivity and environmentally-friendly chemical process of Solvay’s mega plant technology. This will support the strategic growth of Solvay’s hydrogen peroxide business in China.
“This marks the third licensing agreement for Solvay’s proprietary high-productivity, mega-scale hydrogen peroxide process technology in China," said Carlos Silveira, President of Solvay's Peroxides business. "Through these partnerships, we assist our customers in producing high-quality hydrogen peroxide with the same performance as our own facilities. We look forward to working closely with North Huajin.”
Mr. Jin Xiaochen, President of North Huajin, added: “This agreement represents a significant milestone in the developing collaboration between our two companies. We believe that by combining our strengths in resources, value chain, and deep local market knowledge with Solvay’s expertise, advanced technology, and production management capabilities, we will be better equipped to meet the market’s needs.”
HPPO (Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide) is the main process for producing propylene oxide (PO), a key chemical intermediate used to make polyurethane foams (for mattresses and car seats), adhesives, coatings, and various plastics and chemicals essential to industries such as construction, automotive, healthcare, and agriculture.
