Caustic soda industry safety access to promote the market warmer

The reporter learned from the China Chlor-Alkali Industry Association on December 26th that the association has drafted the “Safe Access Conditions for the Caustic Soda Industry (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)” from the layout of production enterprises, production equipment and process requirements and safety facilities, and storage and transportation.titanium dioxide, Requirements, safety standardization requirements, Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate,responsibilities, supervision and management, etc., impose more stringent access to the caustic soda industry and are expected to be released next year. Insiders pointed out that this move will further enhance the competitiveness of leading companies and promote the industry reshuffle.

The “Entry Conditions” stipulates that the new, modified, expanded, and relocated caustic soda projects must all adopt the ion membrane production process. The existing membrane caustic soda production device (except for the comprehensive utilization of resources) began on January 1, 2016, and the production safety After the license expires, it will not be replaced.

In addition, regarding the layout of production enterprises, the “Entry Conditions” stipulates that new-build caustic soda production enterprises must comply with “chlorine-alkali (caustic-alkali, polyvinyl chloride) industry access requirements” and should also be located in an industrial park or specialized area planned by the local government. Within the (aggregation zone) building, the site selection of the project shall meet the requirements of the “Sanitation Plant Protection Distance Standard for Chlor-alkali Plants (Electrolysis Alkali Production)” and comply with the overall local land use planning. Existing caustic soda production enterprises that are not located in industrial parks or specialized areas (agglomerations) planned by the local government must, in principle, plan or implement the land for relocation and construction projects by the end of 2015, and arrange for the implementation of withdrawal from the city.

The industry expects that the enhanced access of the caustic soda industry will further enhance the competitiveness of leading companies and promote industry reshuffle. From the comprehensive analysis of factors such as the decline in load, tight transportation, capital withdrawal, and export stabilization, the medium-term market for the caustic soda market is expected to gradually recover.
