Hubei Daily News (Reporter Huang Lu, Correspondents Sun Yilin and Feng Jun) On September 20, Qianjiang held a concentrated start-up event for major projects in the third quarter of 2024, among which the Jianghan Salt Chemical Fine Chemicals and Supporting Engineering Project with a total investment of 10.8 billion yuan was announced to start construction.

The Jianghan Salt Chemical Fine Chemical and Supporting Engineering Project is located in Wangchang Park, Qianjiang High-tech Zone, and is invested and constructed by Jianghan Salt Chemical, the world's largest chlorine-containing disinfectant manufacturer. The project will further expand the basic scale of Jianghan Salt Chemical, and the park's steam, liquid alkali, chlorine and hydrogen supply capacity will be more sufficient; the newly built 30,000 tons/year bleaching powder concentrate unit will refine the characteristic business of Jianghan Salt Chemical, increase the international market supply of bleaching powder concentrate, and effectively increase the market share; the newly built 50,000 tons/year chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) unit will extend the Jianghan Salt Chemical industry chain, enrich the product variety, and initially show diversified development. After the project is completed and put into production, it is expected to have an average annual operating income of about 7.7 billion yuan, directly creating more than 1,200 jobs.

"Jianghan Salt Chemical Industry utilizes abundant brine resources to build fine chemicals and supporting projects, which will help the development of Hubei's salt chemical industry cluster." A relevant person in charge of Qianjiang Municipal Development and Reform Commission introduced that Hubei Province has formed a strategy of relying on Jianghan Salt Chemical Industry, making full use of its basic chemical raw materials such as chlorine, hydrogen, caustic soda, attracting domestic leading companies in the same industry with high industrial correlation to enter the park, extending the salt chemical industry chain, and developing a circular economy.
