PUdaily | Updated: April 25, 2024

Wanhua Chemical, a significant player in the chemical industry, recently announced key developments in its TDI (toluene diisocyanate) production capacity expansion plans. The company’s official website disclosed the Environmental Impact Assessment Reports for two crucial projects.

On April 18, the Phase II Expansion Project of TDI, with a capacity of 360,000 tons per year, was unveiled by Wanhua Chemical (Fujian) Co., Ltd. This expansion project marks a notable step forward in the company’s strategic growth initiatives.

Shortly thereafter, on April 23, Wanhua Chemical’s official website released the Environmental Impact Assessment Report for the Phase I Technological Improvement and Capacity Expansion Project of TDI, also with a capacity of 360,000 tons per year.

The Phase I project involves significant upgrades to existing TDI production units, including nitration, acid concentration, hydrogenation, phosgenation, and refining units. These enhancements will boost the production capacity from 250,000 tons per year to 360,000 tons per year.

Meanwhile, the Phase II Expansion Project of TDI by Wanhua Chemical (Fujian) Co., Ltd. is poised to have a notable impact. Situated in the Jiangyin Industrial Concentration Zone in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, this project covers an area of 49,065 square meters. It encompasses the construction of advanced process units, including nitration, hydrogenation, and phosgenation units, alongside auxiliary and public engineering units. Once operational, the facility will produce 360,000 tons of TDI annually.

Together, these expansion projects will increase Wanhua Chemical’s TDI production capacity by 470,000 tons. With a total TDI production capacity of 1.42 million tons per year, Wanhua Chemical is poised to solidify its position as a significant player in the global chemical industry landscape.
