By Shua Xuxiang

Thanks to early planning based on market change, and prompt implementation, China Haohua Chemical (Group) Corp's Chlor-alkali producers managed to

diminish some unfavorable seasonal factors and saw both their production and marketing take off in the off-season. In January, four of its subsidiaries had profits of approximately nine million yuan, including 6.3 million yuan at Haohua Yuhang Chemical and 1.3 million yuan at Hebei Shenghua Chemical. In January, Haohua Yuhang Chemical had sales revenues of 270 million yuan and profits of 6.3 million yuan, for a year-on-year growth of 6.2 percent and 56 percent. The sales-output ratio and capital recovery were both 100 percent. This was an excellent preparation for a test run of the "240,000t/a ion film caustic soda & 200,000t/a PVC" project. In January, Hebei Shenghua Chemical had sales revenues of 89.58 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.99 percent,

and profits of 1.3 million yuan. Siping Haohua Chemical has developed a response plan for severe cold weather adopted specifically for temperatures below -20 degrees, to ensure safe wintertime production. The company has noticed the increasing inventory pressures during the off season, and decided to make good use of its trading networks in East China, selling 3,000 tons of PVC resin to South China. At the same time it looked for solutions to the increased consumption of calcium carbide, and cut it from 1.436kg/t to 1.418kg/t, saving 1.1 million yuan. By making good use of its centralized management, Haohua East China Chemical got involved in incremental PVC trading. At just the right point in the styrene market, it bought 6,000 tons of styrene abroad via contract and made a profit of more than million yuan, creating a new growth point. In January, it had profits of 1.05 million yuan, creating the brightest new year start of the past 19 years.

Jiangxi Xinghuo's Antioxidant Project Completed

By Du Yanqing

The Jiangxi Xinghuo Organic Silicone Plant's Antioxidant 300 project, with an annual output of 1,000 tons, was completed and went into operation on December 14, 2010,

with its product quality meeting all design requirements. Work on the 1,000-ton Antioxidant 300 project began on March 22, 2010. This expansion project is based on a 260-ton pilot plant developed by the BlueStar Guangzhou Research Institute of Synthetic Materials. The Guangzhou Institute provided the technology, the China BlueStar Changsha Design and Research Institute did the design and construction work, and Jiangxi Xinghuo developed the industrial-scale production. Total spending on the project was 47 million yuan. When it reaches its full output, sales revenues are expected to grow by more than 68 million yuan. Antioxidant 300 is synthesized from m-cresol and isobutylene, through several production stages. The finished product is a white or light yellow powder with a high melting point and insoluble in water. It is a pollution-free, highly efficient phenolic antioxidant, applicable to many kinds of plastic, rubber and polyolefin products. It has good oxidation resistance, heat resistance, and ability to withstand harsh weather. It is an especially outstanding antioxidant for polyethylene wire and cable materials, because it can better protect the physical properties of raw materials such as tensile strength, elongation and melt index, and its anti-aging effect is four times that of ordinary anti-aging agents. Because of its low volatility, it has a synergistic effect when used in combination with carbon black, so other antioxidants cannot easily replace it. It is widely used in the cable and wire industry in China and abroad, and has promising market prospects.

A Committed Young Team Leader

-- Sharing the thoughts of team leader Yu Shuitao at a Bluestar Harbin Petrochemical maleic anhydride workshop

Jiang Yu

“You might never have an outstanding achievement, but you should never end up without a commitment." This is the motto of Yu Shuitao, the leader of team D at BlueStar Harbin Petrochemical Co

Ltd's maleic anhydride workshop. And it was just such a belief that allowed him to grow from a new university grad into a team leader in control of more than 10 workers in just three short years. Yu joined the Bluestar factory after graduation in December 2007. He was hired to improve the technical side of the company's maleic anhydride business as the maleic anhydride plant was expanding. To get on the right track immediately, Yu studied the theories, operating instructions and production process whenever he was off work. He volunteered to take part in any emergency

repairs and, in solving problems, he accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience that he could not get elsewhere. At the same time, he impressed the senior workers with his few words and good results. He would never let any technical difficulty go unsolved and always found a way to figure things out on site. This persevering approach allowed his professional skills to improve through practice. In spite of the fact that he's a member of the 80s, Yu has a real down-to-earth spirit rarely seen among his age group. For example, one day last winter, a rectifying tower at his workshop was blocked by steam so Yu volunteered to enter the tower to handle the cleaning operation himself to resume normal production. That cleaning operation took more than four hours to complete. With his wide-ranging knowledge and pragmatic work style, Yu was soon promoted to head of Team D, making him the youngest team leader at Factory No.2. On every inspection patrol, Yu would join the operators in examining every part of the production site to see that it was correct and the production running smoothly. After becoming a team leader, he paid more attention to team building and encouraged team members to read more, gain new insights and provide more suggestions. Most of the new ideas developed by team members were adopted by the leader. Under Yu's leadership, Team D was named best team of the workshop several times, and always had the highest performance. Although he's younger than most of his colleagues, Yu is still the backbone, someone who cares about everything related to his colleagues, no matter how trivial it may seem. "I'm concerned about everything that concerns my team," is his pet phrase. And his colleagues respond, "Our team is the best," with the greatest of pride. Yu could not feel more excited, comments in his usual laconic way, "I will work harder to serve my team and my workshop as well."
