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%.

Asian ethanolamines demand to grow by 6-7% over next 3-5 years

Asian ethanolamines demand to grow by

6-7% over next 3-5 years

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Asias demand for ethanolamines is expected to grow by 6-7%

per annum over the next three to five years, with the support of strong economic
growth in China and India, market sources said on Wednesday.
This is compared with the 2-3% forecasted growth in the US and Europe for 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
to ICIS data.
China is driving demand and prompting capacity expansions in Asia, 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.
China is 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 of Chinas 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 in monetarypolicy may temporarily dampen demand.
International players detected the potential growth of the ethanolamines
market in China from2005, when China met 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 included Taiwans Oriental Union Chemical Corp (OUCC)s 40,000 tonne/year
plant at Yizheng in Jiangsu province, Dutch producer Akzo Nobels 80,000
tonne/year amines complex atNingbo in Zhejiang province and German chemical
giant BASFs 75,000 tonne/year amines complex at Nanjing in Jiangsu province.
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 the US, which
had a capacity of 806,000 tonnes/year for the same year, according to ICIS data.
More new capacities, mainly in China and the Middle 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
in China and Saudi producer SABICs 100,000 tonne/year Saudi Kayan project at AlJubail.
Market players said they are aware that the capacities coming on line in China will
change the trade flow of ethanolamines in Asia dramatically over the next two to
three years.
Now a large importer, China is 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.

China imported a total of 111,000 tonnes of ethanolamines in 2011, a significant fall

of 31% from the previous year, according to the China customs.
India is the second-largest importer of ethanolamines in Asia.
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 (9621,036/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
feedstock ethyleneprices, ICIS data showed.
