Octanol is expected to self-sufficient after two years

In the next two years, China's octanol production capacity will surge. Due to the relative ease of growth in apparent consumption, it is expected that the octanol market in China will be self-sufficient within two years.

The progress of the announced project shows that following the successful operation of the 140,000 t/y octanol plant of Shandong Lihuayi at the end of August last year, the 140,000 t/y octanol plant of the Tianjin Soda Plant successfully produced products in early March 2011; Shandong Jianlan The capacity of the plant will be expanded from 50,000 tons/year to 120,000 tons/year. It is planned to be completed by the end of March or early April and put into operation before the end of the year; the Shandong Qilu plasticizer plan will have a new 140,000 tons/year octanol plant. The foundation was laid on March 1st and it is planned to be completed by the end of 2012. In addition, PetroChina Sichuan Petrochemical 80,000 tons/year, Sinopec Baling Company 130,000 tons/year, and Daqing Petrochemical's 80,000 tons/year octanol plant are also planned to be built from 2011 to 2012. In 2012, the production capacity will increase by more than 400,000 tons. At that time, the self-sufficiency rate will increase substantially. However, it is worth noting that the technical start-up of the butyl octanol synthesis gas plant is very difficult, and it is not ruled out that the time for the planned production of the company to be put into production in 2012 may be delayed.

Last year, there were 751,000 tons of octanol capacity put into operation in China. The starting load was about 70%, and the output was about 500,000 tons. The net import volume was 460,000 tons and the apparent consumption was nearly 97 million tons. The annual growth rate of apparent consumption of octyl alcohol eased. , from 3% to 4%; 90% of octanol is used in the production of dioctyl phthalate (DOP), the annual growth rate of DOP is above 10%, and the growth rate of octanol is 7% or slightly higher. It is expected that the annual growth rate of octanol in the future will be 5% to 6%.

It is reported that around September this year, the Yangzi BASF octanol plant plans to convert other varieties. It is expected that the octanol production capacity will be around 830,000 tons in 2011, the apparent consumption will be about 1.1 million tons, and the output will be stable at around 650,000 tons. The import volume will remain stable. .
