It has been further agreed that Solvay will have a hydrogen peroxide offtake after the mega plant starts up. This will support the strategic growth of Solvay’s hydrogen peroxide business in China, in particular in the southern area.

Weimin Zhang, General Manager of Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical, commented: “We are honored to work with Solvay in this ambitious venture, which will enable us to run the new hydrogen peroxide mega plant at lower energy consumption and less CO2 emissions than our competitors. Next to the proven safety, reliability and cost effectiveness of Solvay’s high-productivity hydrogen peroxide technology, its sustainability benefits were instrumental to deploying it at our Qinzhou site.”

The propylene oxide is a versatile chemical intermediate for a wide range of materials in many industrial and commercial market segments, including polyurethanes, propylene glycol ethers and propoxylated organic specialty compounds.
