The plant will be designed to produce 230,000 m.t./year of H2O2 and it is scheduled onstream at the end of 2013. It will increase Evonik's current overall H2O2 capacity by close to 40% to 600,000 tons. Evonik will supply H2O2 from the new plant at Jilin directly to the adjacent propylene oxide (PO) plant operated by Jishen Chemical Industry Co. via a pipeline that will link the two facilities. The two companies have already concluded a long-term supply agreement. Jishen will use the hydrogen peroxide to produce propylene oxide via the hydrogen peroxide-to-propylene oxide (HPPO) technology.
