Manufacturing

Eighty million RMB of imported process technology.

We invested more than RMB 80 million to bring in Canadian sodium chlorite production technology. At the time it was built it was the most advanced system of its kind in China, and it filled a gap in the domestic market.

Site

60,000 m² automated manufacturing base

RMB 140 million fixed assets

200+ staff

Gaomi, Shandong — inside the one-hour economic circle of the Shandong Peninsula, Qingdao to the east.

Capacity

What each line actually produces.

Listed per line rather than as one combined figure, so you can judge directly whether the grade you need is in supply.

Solid sodium chlorite
10,000 t / year
Liquid sodium chlorite
75,000 t / year
Chloroethylene carbonate
40,000 t / year

Build-out

Four commissioning phases in eight years.

Capacity here was added deliberately, one commissioned phase at a time, rather than promised ahead of the plant existing.

  1. 2014

    Phase I

    Relocated out of the old town site into the Gaomi industrial park and commissioned the first automated line.

  2. 2016

    Phase II

    Second line put into operation, roughly doubling sodium chlorite output.

  3. 2021

    Phase III

    Third phase commissioned, taking sodium chlorite capacity to its current level.

  4. 2022

    CEC line

    A dedicated chloroethylene carbonate line built for the lithium battery electrolyte market.

On the floor

Automated, monitored, and analysed in house.

Automation is what makes safe, stable, long-cycle and full-load operation possible — and that stability is what a consistent certificate of analysis actually depends on.

Safety

Prevention first, people first.

Those two slogans are painted across the pipe racks on site. Behind them sit the national Safety Production Licence, an ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system, and an ISO 14001 environmental management system.

Sodium chlorite is an oxidiser. Handling it properly is not a compliance formality here — it is the reason the plant is designed the way it is.
