On Oct. 23, BASF's production of the leading bio-acrylamide production plant in the chemical industry park in Nanjing, China, will produce more than 50,000 tons of acrylamide per year.
Acrylamide for the production of water-soluble flocculants, so that sewage treatment, paper, as well as mineral processing and crude oil recovery to enhance the more efficient and more resource-saving.
In 2014, BASF began production of biogenic acrylamide in Suffolk, Virginia, USA. In 2016, a new bioproduct acrylamide plant was put into operation in Bradford, UK. After the project was successfully put into operation, BASF In the world's major markets have three sets of the industry's most advanced production equipment.
BASF said that the completion of the BioACM plant is an important milestone in the history of BASF's Nanjing base, which has laid the foundation for future expansion, and the new polyacrylamide production line is under construction and is expected to be operational in 2018. "We have further consolidated BASF as a preferred partner for the paper and water treatment industry," he said.
Compared with the traditional high-pressure, high-energy copper catalytic process, enzymatic biocatalytic waste generated by the process significantly reduced the process can be carried out at room temperature and normal atmospheric conditions, help to save energy and improve environmental compatibility.At the same time, By-products are also less.
