Fuzhou, Fujian – Southeast Electrochemistry, one of China’s largest TDI makers, is planning a 150kT/year TDI project at its site at Jiangyin Industrial Complex in here.
The proposal is waiting for regulatory approval.
Southeast Electrochemistry to expand TDI facility
Southeast Electrochemistry's site in Fujin
The expansion originally had 200kT/year planned capacity and the updated project will likely begin construction in 2019, the company told UTECH-polyurethane.com. The site already has 100kT/year TDI facility which has been in operation for three years.
CNCEC affiliate Sedin Engineering is designing the project. Investment is likely to total CNY3.8bn ($545m). It will take 36 months to complete, and create 240 jobs when in operation, said its environmental impact report.
The project also includes a 300kT/year ionic film caustic soda facility. This is in addition to the site’s existing 120kT/year capacity. Southeast Electrochemistry aims to build the site into China’s largest for TDI and related materials.
Caustic soda produced here will also supply Fujian Connell Polyurethane's recently announced 400kT/year MDI plant by a pipeline. Southeast Electrochemistry is owned by FJ Pec, which has a stake in Fujian Connell Polyurethane. At the same time as this project is underway, FJ Pec is expected to supply engineering services for that project too.
