OUCC is dedicated to the R&D of green chemistry technologies. It holds the belief of smart manufacturing and drives the transformation of chemical industry with the help of environmentally friendly practices and technologies. Envisioning the sustainable development of chemical industry, OUCC has adopted the “stable, safe and environmentally-friendly” approach for product development. The possible risks for human health, safety and the environment are assessed based on the concept of product life cycle. The goals are to reduce risks, establish and promote green chemistry strategies and actions.
OUCC continues to strengthen green production and high value layout. Besides proactively developing various high-valued EOD products, we also continue to improve production procedures and invest in equipment, promote the innovation of circular economy with the thinking of green circular production, and therefore decrease the impact of production on the environment.
New Business Model: The Circular Economy
We adopt a "circular economy" strategy and aim to implement the core concept of "minimizing environmental impact and maximizing resource value" through technological innovation in our processes, to establish our own circular economy model.
OUCC has independently developed the "Potassium Iodide (KI) Recycling Technology." Through this recycling technology, the potassium iodide is efficiently recovered and reused, thereby reducing the generation of waste. This transformation converts the potassium iodide waste solution from "waste" to a "usable renewable resource," creating additional economic value. In addition to saving waste treatment costs, the by-products generated during the process also contribute to the company's revenue.
The Circular Economy -
Air Separation Units
OUCC's utilized sales strategies of circular economy, by way of investing in the Air Separation Unit to supply excess industrial gas to factories, has created a win-win by turning trash into gold, and exhaust into company revenue.
Innovative Process, Circular Sustainability
The development and design of the "distillation/hydration equipment" allows potassium iodide (KI) waste solvent produced by the ethylene carbonate (EC) plant to be concentrated, upgradeing the originally paid "external waste" into reusable resource products, which can then be utilized in new production processes. The potassium iodide (KI) waste solvent was successfully concentrated to 15% potassium iodide (KI) for recycling, and along came the by-product, monoethylene glycol (MEG).
