Shandong Haihua's new 200,000-ton/year sodium bicarbonate project, with a total investment of 118 million yuan, has been progressing smoothly since its commencement in March 2025. The project is characterized by a vibrant atmosphere of rapid progress and intense work, with construction workers busily engaged in wall construction and preparing to begin equipment installation and pipeline laying. The project is expected to be completed and put into trial operation in September of this year.
Currently, the sodium bicarbonate workshop and packaging workshop have been capped, and the foundation and retaining wall of the packaging warehouse have been poured simultaneously. The first floor of the sodium bicarbonate workshop and the power distribution room have also been completed. All work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Fan Dangui, Minister of the Equipment Technology Department of the 200,000-ton/year sodium bicarbonate project, explained: "Under the premise of ensuring safety and quality, we are working closely with the construction and supervision teams, seizing the golden construction period, planning ahead for the entry of personnel, materials, and equipment, racing against time, and advancing according to the established plan to ensure that each milestone is completed on schedule. The capping of two individual plant buildings has now been completed." This also allows time for the later installation of equipment, pipelines, and electrical instruments. We hope that through everyone's joint efforts, the project will be completed safely, smoothly, and on schedule. After completion, the combined capacity of the first phase project and the new carbonization tower will reach 300,000 tons/year. The project uses a new type of carbonization tower, which has the advantages of high carbonization conversion rate and long operating cycle, capable of producing large-particle products with a crystallization particle size of 60-120 mesh, effectively diversifying the product range and better meeting the needs of different customers.
Project Manager Gao Ning explained: With the increasing recognition and acceptance of baking soda products by the public, market demand is constantly growing. The new 200,000-ton/year baking soda project, through the application of new equipment, new technologies, and new materials, will: 1) further reduce baking soda energy consumption; 2) share the operating personnel of the first phase, significantly reducing labor costs; and 3) further refine the product range by adding screening devices, gradually forming a low-cost, high-quality, and diversified baking soda product chain, further enhancing the market competitiveness of baking soda.
