subject: Soda Ash Industry In June From The Implementation Of The Access Conditions - Soda Ash Industry, [print this page] 5 13 from China's Soda Ash Industry Association was informed that the Department of Industry and Information Technology has been officially announced, "soda ash industry access," from June 1 onwards, the issue was first introduced Ministry of Industry and soda ash industry standards into the condition. According to regulations, the new (expanded) construction of ammonia soda plant design capacity shall not be less than 1.2 million tons. In response, China Soda Industry Association Vice President and Secretary General Wang Xiling pointed out that "access" The introduction of new soda ash project for the control of the speed, to avoid duplication and improve the overall level of trade and competitiveness, will play an important role.
Reporter learned that, "access" from the manufacturer layout, scale and technical equipment, energy saving, environmental protection, product quality and other aspects of the new 7 (Extension) Soda Project set a high threshold, which indexes are the most advanced. "Access" also provides that the existing soda ash company must meet these requirements by 2015, or will be discontinued, changing the line.
Wang Xiling analysis, since 2008, soda ash production capacity in China since the concentration of growth lead to serious excess capacity, which raise the industry's severe loss of status, is "access conditions" put in context. According to Wang Xiling introduced before 2008, the domestic soda ash consumption average annual rate of 1.1 million to 120 million tons, production and demand were basically balanced. Since then, the result of the project focused on capacity expansion resulted in growth, breaking the production-demand equilibrium situation. Domestic soda ash production in 2009 reached 24.08 million tons, output of 18.72 million tons, ranking first in the world, domestic consumption of 16.4 million tons, exports of 2.32 million tons. Despite the excess soda ash production capacity has been serious, but the project is currently under construction is still not diminished. It is estimated that by the end of this year, domestic production will reach 26.4 million tons, by the end of 2011 reached 29.97 million tons, by the end of 2012 reached 33.77 million tons of excess production capacity will continue to intensify.
In addition, a total of 47 companies nationwide soda ash, the basic are medium-sized enterprises, the level of the gap between the small business. Medium Soda or near the market, or close to the resources and place of origin, is very tenacious vitality, overall competitive strength and large businesses. Therefore, the soda ash industry resolve the excess capacity, but also different from other industries as simple elimination of backward production capacity.
Wang Xiling remind the trade business, the current is very difficult to control the production, soda ash industry, the market turns for the better will be a long process, at least within 3 to 5 years are unspeakable substantive change, but the enterprises should make full psychologically prepared. He suggested that a good trade enterprises must control the production, maintaining production at 80% load, such as soda ash product demand and consumption growth in the industry to gradually enter the healthy development track.
