Since 2008, the nitrogen dioxide industry has once again been trapped in a major dilemma.

Drying equipment

In 2011, Hebei Province and Shandong Province alone added more than 45,000 tons of dinitrogen production capacity. These production capacities have not yet been put into normal operation. In 2012, more than 45,000 tons of production capacity was also under construction or planned for construction in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, etc. If these new capacities cannot be effectively digested, it will undoubtedly make the whole industry worse. This is also one of the reasons why the industry has been at a low profit or even a loss since last year. This view has already reached a consensus in the industry. Since entering in February, domestic zero-nitriding companies once had a zero-crossing start-up rate, and all companies stopped production. This is the second time that the industry has fallen into a major dilemma since 2008, and the big reshuffle of the industry will be announced this year.

As the largest dinitrite enterprise in the country with a single set of equipment, Henan Luoshen Co., Ltd. has downstream auxiliary products such as sulfur black and 6-bromo-2,4-dinitroaniline. The production capacity of dinitrite accounts for about 25% of the total domestic capacity. “Even companies like this cannot start work properly, let alone the situation of other domestic SMEs.” Li Zhanchao, a deputy general manager of a dinitrite company in Hebei, told reporters in this way. He also stated that the blindly launched projects in some regions have resulted in a serious surplus of production capacity, which is one of the main reasons for this situation.

“Sulfur black has been planned to save costs and increase efficiency for the company since it was put into operation. However, after the cost calculation, it is not as good as our direct purchase. The new plant has just been completed and it faces a long-term suspension of production. It does not even exclude it. The possibility of permanent suspension of production, which is a serious excess capacity caused troubles." Hengdian Group Homeland Chemical Co., Ltd. Market Development Minister Wu Chunlin said to reporters when these are very helpless.

Li Zhanchao said that the dilemmas faced by the dinitrite enterprises this year are also closely related to the persistent downturn in the black vulcanization export market and the lack of corporate innovation capabilities. Sulfur black is a common dye, and it is also the largest consumer of dinitrite, accounting for more than 80% of the entire consumption. Due to the relatively stable market demand for sulphide blacks, the demand in the international market has been strong in the past few years, which has led to a continuous increase in the number of new and expansion projects for domestic sulphide black companies. At present, the annual domestic demand for sulfur black is only 200,000 tons, and the annual production capacity is close to 500,000 tons. In addition, the current international sulphide black market continues to be weak and demand is greatly reduced. As a result, the demand for dinitrogen is also shrinking.

"The survival of the fittest is the natural law, when the supply and demand are seriously out of balance, the self-destruction of the industry will inevitably occur. In addition, the freezing of cold weather is not only a result of this situation but also the result of many years of accumulation. The result of the order competition is extremely counterproductive. If the industry can be completely shuffled this year, the turning point of the industry may come, which is more conducive to the healthy long-term development of the industry.” said Wei Jianyang, general manager of Nanjing Kaiyan Chemical Co., Ltd. .

Due to the “2.88” explosion accident at the Kerqin Chemical Plant in Zhaoxian, Hebei Province, some dioxins in Hebei with inadequate safety facilities are facing a severe test of whether they can continue their work.

According to industry estimates, due to the market downturn and the increase in safety and environmental barriers, this year, the major players in the industry will be able to phase out more than 30% of their production companies. Enterprises with incomplete production licenses and incomplete safety facilities will be shut down and transferred. ,qiut the market.
