Recently, the oxychlorination reactor manufactured by Sunpower for Wanhua’s BorsodChem VCM3 project in Hungary was officially shipped. As a key project in Wanhua Chemical’s overseas expansion, the successful delivery of this core equipment marks an important progress for Sunpower in the manufacturing of large-scale critical petrochemical equipment, and will provide solid support for Wanhua Chemical’s global strategic development.
The oxychlorination reactor delivered this time is a core piece of equipment for Wanhua’s PVC/VCM unit. Each unit measures 4.3 meters in diameter and 32 meters in length. Made of high-end special materials, the equipment offers excellent resistance to high temperature and strong corrosion, enabling it to adapt to harsh operating conditions such as high chlorine and high humidity, and ensuring long-term, continuous and stable operation. After being put into service, the equipment will efficiently convert hydrogen chloride gas, a by-product of TDI production, significantly reducing the generation and discharge of waste hydrochloric acid, and supporting Wanhua’s Hungary site in practicing its green development philosophy of “treating waste with waste and reducing carbon emissions at the source.”
As a Gold Supplier of Wanhua Chemical, Sunpower has long been deeply engaged in the R&D and manufacturing of special materials and specialized equipment. The company remains committed to enabling customer success through innovation in high-efficiency heat transfer technology and driving high-quality development of the industry. This delivery not only reflects the customer’s recognition of Sunpower’s technical capabilities and project execution strength, but also marks an important step in Sunpower’s expansion of high-end equipment into overseas markets.
Looking ahead, Sunpower will continue to uphold its cooperation philosophy of “enabling customer success,” further enhance its R&D capabilities in high-end equipment, deepen collaboration with partners, and jointly promote the green and sustainable development of the chemical industry.
