The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently released a list of green manufacturing system integration projects in 2018. Elkem Xinghuo Silicones’s Key Green Process System Integration Project is on the list, receiving six million yuan of start-up funds from Jiangxi Provincial Department of Finance.
The project is based on the joint project of raw silicone rubber and new downstream products of the compound rubber. The advanced green process of upstream raw material pretreatment is adopted to realize the green raw materials. Developing key new processes and key equipment can effectively solve the problem of greening key chemical process links. We need to adopt a green catalyst to take the lead in doing experiments in the chemical industry. Advanced wastewater treatment can reduce pollutant discharge and recycle resources. We need to formulate green standards for the silicone industry to carry out the integration of green manufacturing systems as an industry model, so as to solve key problems in the green development of the industry and boost the construction and development of green factories.
As one of the ten pillar industries for industrial development in Jiangxi Province, Elkem Xinghuo Silicone is the most dynamic and growing market entity in China’s silicone industry economy and the backbone for building a modern silicone industry and achieving sound and rapid development. The company has obvious advantages and competitiveness in terms of product scale, technology, talents, brand, raw materials, policies, and management. Silicone production technology and scale are leading the world.
China’s staunch support and green guidance for the project will boost the promotion and application of the project technology, further improve the green level of the production of silicone raw rubber and compound rubber and promote the transformation and upgrading of green manufacturing technology. Also, Elkem Xinghuo Silicones will play an active role in leading the green development of the industry, promoting regional green transformation, and improving the competitiveness of China’s silicone products in the international market.
