Bahan baku utama etilen oksida yang dibutuhkan untuk produksi etanolamin tidak terlalu banyak, sehingga proyek konstruksi etanolamin memiliki ambang batas yang tinggi, etilen oksida yang stabil sumber harus tersedia. Karena sebagian besar perusahaan produksi etilen oksida dalam negeri terkonsentrasi di CNPC dan Sinopec, dan oksida etilen di atas dua perusahaan besar yang hampir semua digunakan dalam produksi glikol, meskipun perusahaan lain mengusulkan untuk membangun proyek etanolamin, mereka gagal karena kekurangan baku bahan bahan. Nanjing Chemical Industrial Group Company memperkenalkan teknologi untuk membangun proyek 20,000t / tahun peralatan, yang telah menyiapkan selama bertahun-tahun, dan lulus penilaian lingkungan pada tahun 2003, tetapi masih belum dilaksanakan; Maoming Petroleum dan Chemical Company berencana untuk memperluas peralatan etanolamin ke 12.000 / tahun, yang baru didirikan 6000t / tahun proyek diperkirakan akan selesai pada tahun 2010. Proyek MTO direncanakan oleh Shenhua Group di Yulin mempersiapkan pembangunan peralatan etanolamin pendukung, namun unit ini dibatasi dengan jadwal proyek MTO. Xinjiang Wusu, Anhui Huaihua Fine Chemical Company memiliki niat proyek konstruksi etanolamin. Selain itu, Akzo Nobel Perusahaan melakukan penyertaan nota upacara penandatanganan pada bulan Oktober 2006 di Ningbo, akan membangun tahun etilen oksida / etanolamin, chelant dan proyek selulosa (skala peralatan etanolamin 40,000t / tahun) di Ningbo Kimia Zone. Proyek ini dimasukkan ke dalam produksi pada bulan April 2010. Secara keseluruhan, tingkat pengoperasian peralatan etanolamin yang ada akan dipengaruhi oleh pasokan bahan baku, kemajuan baru meningkat rencana kapasitas lambat. t diperkirakan bahwa kapasitas akan mencapai sekitar 250,000t / tahun pada tahun 2015.

Produksi etanolamin negeri tidak dapat memenuhi permintaan pasar, massa produk etanolamin akan diimpor setiap tahun. Pada tahun 2009, produksi etanolamin Cina adalah tentang 90,000t, bersih 140,000t volume impor, dan konsumsi 230,000t jelas. Ethanolamine merupakan salah satu bahan baku penting baik organik kimia, bidang aplikasi yang luas. Diperkirakan etanolamin Cina Volume permintaan pada tahun 2015 akan mencapai 300,000t, tingkat pertumbuhan permintaan rata-rata tahunan selama 2009-2015 akan mencapai sekitar 5%.ChemicalsEnergyFertilizersServicesFree TrialContact SalesLogin You are here: Home Resources Asian ethanolamines demand to grow by 6-7% over next 3-5 yearsAsian ethanolamines demand to grow by 6-7% over next 3-5 years29 February 2012 04:11Source:ICIS NewsByBecky ZhangSINGAPORE(ICIS)--Asias demand forethanolaminesis expected to grow by 6-7% per annum over the next three to five years, with the support of strong economic growth inChinaandIndia, market sources said on Wednesday.This is compared with the 2-3%forecastedgrowth in theUSandEuropefor the same period, the sources added.Asias consumption of ethanolamines has been growing rapidly, reaching 560,000 tonnes in 2011 and accounting for a third of the global market demand, according toICIS data.Chinais driving demand and prompting capacity expansions inAsia, the sources said.The countrys ethanolamines consumption rose to 366,000 tonnes in 2011, which is close to three times the 125,000 tonnes recorded in 2005, according to ICIS data.Chinais our priority market as the countrys demand growth is fast, a major southeast Asian producer said. Chinas domestic price is the major benchmark for our pricing.The countrys strong demand was mainly driven by rapid growth in the major downstream surfactants, pesticides/medications, polyurethane (PU) and cement sectors, with the former two accounting for two thirds ofChinas market share in 2011, a major Zhejiang-based trader said.Chinas large population and the [search] for a better quality [of] life drove demand for personal care and detergent products, [in which] ethanolamines is the major raw material, a surfactant maker in southeast Asia said.The countrys real estate market is another major booster for ethanolamines demand, mainly in the PU and cement sectors, and is expected to stay high in the next few years because of the large population, the Zhejiang-based trader said, adding that the current ease inmonetarypolicy may temporarily dampen demand.International players detected the potential growthof the ethanolamines marketinChinafrom2005, whenChinamet 70% of its demand with imports.Some ethanolamines majors have built production bases in China in the past three years, bringing the countrys capacity to over 5m tonnes/year in 2011, up by 10 times from 2005 and making up a quarter of global capacity.These includedTaiwans Oriental Union Chemical Corp (OUCC)s 40,000 tonne/year plant at Yizheng inJiangsuprovince, Dutch producer Akzo Nobels 80,000 tonne/year amines complex atNingboinZhejiangprovince and German chemical giant BASFs 75,000 tonne/year amines complex atNanjinginJiangsuprovince.With around 860,000 tonnes/year of capacity in 2011, Asia now has the largest production capacity of ethanolamines in the world, exceeding that in theUS, which had a capacity of 806,000 tonnes/year for the same year, according to ICIS data.More new capacities, mainly inChinaand theMiddle East, are to come on stream in the next few years, with the latest start-ups expected in the second quarter of 2012.These include South Korean firm Honam Petrochemicals 50,000 tonne/year project inChinaand Saudi producer SABICs 100,000 tonne/year Saudi Kayan project at Al-Jubail.Market players said they are aware that the capacities coming on line inChinawill change the trade flow of ethanolaminesinAsiadramatically over the next two to three years.Now a large importer,Chinais to reduce its imports further if local production is able to provide sufficient ethanolamines of acceptable quality for domestic end-users, a major European producer said.Chinaimported a total of 111,000 tonnes of ethanolamines in 2011, a significant fall of 31% from the previous year, according to theChinacustoms.Indiais the second-largest importer of ethanolamines inAsia.With a total consumption of around 100,000 tonnes in 2011, mainly from the optical glass production and the textile industry, the country is relying the majority of its demand for monoethanolamines (MEA) and diethanolamines (DEA) on imports since import duties for the chemical were reduced to 7% from 20% in 2010, said a major India producer, who is also a trader.The Asian ethanolamines market is highly dynamic, characterised by active spot trading and volatile price movements, a second southeast Asian producer said.The key driver of ethanolamines prices used to be demand, but now its more of feedstock prices and the macroeconomic environment, the producer added.Asias ethanolamines prices increased steadily to $1,300-1,400/tonne (962-1,036/tonne) CIF (cost, insurance & freight) China for MEA, $1,300-1,420/tonne CIF China for DEA and $1,500-1,670/tonne CIF China for triethanolamines (TEA), up by 5-12% since the beginning of the year.The increase was underpinned by reduced supply, restocking and firmer feedstockethyleneprices, ICIS data showed.($1 = 0.74)Request for yourAsiaEthanolaminessample reportByBecky Zhang
