Exclusive technology brand of potassium nitrate casting, Hebei Ji Heng Group's 40,000-ton high-end water-soluble fertilizer and 40,000-ton industrial potassium nitrate project groundbreaking ceremony

In mid-May, the Chemical Engineering Institute, responsible for the design, Hebei Ji Heng Group Co., Ltd. The new 40,000-ton high-end water-soluble fertilizer and 40,000-ton industrial potassium nitrate project of the Lantian Branch successfully commenced construction. This project is a strategic layout for Hebei Ji Heng Group to enter the field of new energy and new materials, and will provide strong support for the chemical industry layout of Hengshui High-tech Zone, receiving high attention from Hengshui City and the High-tech Zone.

Hebei Ji Heng Group Co., Ltd. is a large-scale comprehensive enterprise group mainly engaged in the manufacturing of chemical raw materials and chemical products. Headquartered in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, its business covers disinfectants, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and fertilizers. It is a leading disinfectant production base in Asia and an important production base for analgesic and antipyretic raw materials in China. The total investment of this project is approximately 250 million yuan, with a construction land area of approximately 80 mu and involving 11 units. Two main workshops, one for potassium nitrate production and one for drying and packaging, will be newly built, while public utilities and auxiliary engineering will utilize existing facilities in the factory area. The project adopts a one-step magnesium nitrate oxidation process. The high-end water-soluble fertilizer (agricultural potassium nitrate) produced is a high-quality fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium elements needed by crops and contains no harmful elements. After purification, potassium nitrate can reach the industrial molten salt grade. Molten salt is an excellent heat transfer and storage medium. Molten salt energy storage can be used on a large scale in concentrated solar power energy storage, utilization of waste electricity from new energy sources, grid peak shaving, etc., and can also be distributed in smart energy, clean energy centralized heating, and clean energy combined heat and power and cold supply. The market prospects are broad.

For many years, the Chemical Engineering Institute has been guided by technology, quality, progress, and comprehensive services, aiming to build each project as a monument and a model for the industry, achieving win-win cooperation and common development with investors. During the project construction process, with the professional and dedicated spirit of “it’s early even if it’s late today, and it’s late even if it’s early tomorrow,” we conduct comprehensive systematic planning and technical control, preparing detailed roadmaps, schedules, professional collaboration procedures, and key and difficult points for technical breakthroughs for relevant projects. The technical team of the Chemical Engineering Institute's Ji Heng Lantian high-end water-soluble fertilizer and industrial potassium nitrate project, with close cooperation among various related professionals, overcame numerous difficulties, proactively challenged the impossible, and worked under pressure, completing the construction drawing review and safety review work for all units of the project within one month. The team's close cooperation received high praise from the owner, which is a microcosm of the Chemical Engineering Institute's commitment to 'service first' in project technology, quality, and progress. As of now, the underground pile foundation and foundation pit acceptance work has been completed at the project site, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent progress of the project.

        As a provincial-level chemical and pharmaceutical design institute, a provincial specialized, refined, and new enterprise, and a provincial production-education integration "graduate joint training base," the Chemical Engineering Institute has strong and long-standing technical strength and foundation. Its relevant technologies are specialized, refined, and new, with distinctive characteristics and obvious advantages. For many years, it has been deeply engaged in potassium nitrate and high-purity potassium nitrate chemical process technology, and continuously iterates and upgrades its process technology in the potassium nitrate and high-purity potassium nitrate segment, continuously leading the country in engineering design, and has won the proprietary technology of "New Process - One-step Magnesium Nitrate Oxidation Method for Producing High-Purity Potassium Nitrate" (ZYJS2020-018S): Based on this proprietary technology, the design of Shandong Tianyu New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.'s 55,000-ton/year nitric acid and 50,000-ton/year potassium nitrate project was successfully started up. As of May 2025, the device has reached its designed capacity and standards, and the product specific consumption is lower than the industry average. A large number of potassium nitrate and high-purity potassium nitrate projects have been put into production and are under construction: Hubei Jinyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.'s 25,000-ton/year potassium nitrate project, Tonggu County Guotai Technology Co., Ltd.'s annual production of 45,000 tons of agricultural potassium nitrate and 50,000 tons of nitric acid production project, Chongqing Huaqiang Ecological Fertilizer Co., Ltd.'s environmental relocation 30,000-ton/year potassium nitrate project, Shandong Tianyu New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.'s 55,000-ton/year nitric acid and 50,000-ton/year potassium nitrate project, Sanmenxia Jinhua New Materials Co., Ltd.'s red mud and circulating mother liquor system for recovering crude potassium salt comprehensive utilization project, Sanmenxia Jinchuang New Materials Co., Ltd.'s 40,000-ton/year crude potassium salt purification project. Especially the ongoing projects Sanmenxia Jinhua New Materials Co., Ltd.'s red mud and circulating mother liquor system for recovering crude potassium salt comprehensive utilization project, Sanmenxia Jinchuang New Materials Co., Ltd.'s 40,000-ton/year crude potassium salt purification project, are currently in the intensive installation phase, The process research and development of this project represents a deep integration of chemical and metallurgical (aluminum oxide) technologies, The application of this technology can effectively recover and utilize the potassium element in the circulating mother liquor during aluminum oxide production, significantly improving resource utilization efficiency and enhancing the economic benefits and quality of enterprises. After the project is completed and put into operation, it will surely establish another exemplary brand effect in the industry!
