Sino-German joint venture Yangzi Petrochemical-BASF Co., Ltd. announced that it will build a new 100,000 tons/year butyl acrylate plant to expand its production capacity to 200,000 tons/year. The device for the expansion was made of crude acrylic acid (99%) as raw material, esterified with n-butanol, and then subjected to extraction, recovery, and distillation to finally obtain butyl acrylate product. The project selects BASF's patented production technology and uses a continuous esterification process; the conversion rate of acrylic acid reaches 100%; the water is not required to remove the catalyst; only the reaction water needs to be sent to the wastewater treatment system; the esterification conditions are moderate; only a few Byproducts; advanced distillation technology, do not use azeotropic agents. It is understood that the total investment for the reconstruction and expansion project is US$95 million (about 630 million yuan), and the project construction period is expected to be 21 months.
