Analysis of domestic neopentyl glycol market on August 14

By the end of 2006, China had 11 NPG production enterprises with a total capacity of 83000 tons / year There are three NPG plants in China: BASF Jihua neopentyl glycol Co., Ltd., with a plant capacity of 15000 T / A, which was put into operation in May 1998 and expanded to 25000 T / A in 2005 The production process is advanced, and the product price is higher than other two manufacturers, basically equal to the quotation of imported products The plant capacity of Shandong Linzi Yongliu Chemical Co., Ltd is 8000 T / A, with two new production lines It was completed and put into operation at the end of 2004, with a total capacity of 20000 t / A; Shandong Dongying Dongchen Group Co., Ltd completed a 3000 t / a unit in October 2003, and expanded its capacity to 7000 T / a by the end of 2004 In 2004, China's total NPG production capacity was about 40000 tons / year, the output was 28000 tons, the import was about 29000 tons, and the apparent consumption was 57000 tons In 2005, China's NPG production capacity was about 57000 tons / year, the output was 36000 tons, the import was about 32000 tons, and the apparent consumption was 68000 tons In 2006, China's total NPG production capacity reached 83000 tons / year, with the output of 44000 tons, import of 36000 tons and apparent consumption of 80000 tons Table 2 lists the statistics of supply and demand of neopentyl glycol in China from 2002 to 2006 China's NPG production is in short supply and demand, and the contradiction between supply and demand is still prominent Table 2 supply and demand statistics of neopentyl glycol in China from 2002 to 2006, production capacity in 20032004, 20052006, 10000 tons / 2.52.4.2.5.7 8.3, annual production 2.02.4, 2.8, 3.6, 4.4, import 1.8, 2.8, 2.9 3.2.3.6 apparent consumption 3.8.5.2.5.7.6.8.8.0 it is predicted that China's demand for NPG will be about 102000 tons by 2008 At that time, although China's domestic production can be increased to about 60000 tons / year, the market demand can not be met even with full load production, and there is still a market gap of about 30000-40000 tons It is suggested that enterprises planning to build NPG projects should focus on the following three aspects: (1) isobutyraldehyde supply: isobutyraldehyde is the intermediate of carbonylation to butanol and octanol, and the supply of isobutyraldehyde raw materials is the first step to produce NPG (2) close to the market: China's NPG consumer market is mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, and new NPG projects should be close to the market (3) advanced technology: the technology of condensation hydrogenation of BASF JP can be used The sodium formate process is relatively backward The quality, economic index and environmental protection requirements can not be compared with the condensation hydrogenation process.
