Moment of Glory! NEW JCM's Caustic Soda & Chlorine Compressor Selected for National Innovative Product Catalog
2026-03-27
The 2026 Energy and Chemical Industry Technology Equipment Localization Conference, hosted by the China Association of Plant Engineering, was recently grandly held in Qingdao, Shandong. NEW JCM showcased its core products at the conference. Meanwhile, the "300,000-ton/year caustic soda chlorine gas compressor localization and upgrade", developed by NEW JCM's subsidiary, Jinzhou NEWJCM Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd, for Tianjin Bohua Chemical Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Bohua Development"), has been successfully listed into the 2026 Energy and Chemical Industry Technology Equipment Localization Innovative Product Recommended Catalog, marking the company's independent innovation capability in high-end energy equipment as nationally recognized.

Breaking Technological Bottlenecks and Setting A Benchmark for Domestic Solutions
NEW JCM Tips
As the "heart" of the chlor-alkali industry, caustic soda (chlorine) compressors have long been dominated by foreign manufacturers. Achieving domestic production faces formidable technical barriers, with core challenges centered on:
- Specialized Materials and Sealing: The equipment must operate under highly corrosive and toxic wet chlorine conditions. Critical components must incorporate superalloys such as titanium and Hastelloy. Furthermore, it is essential to engineer micron-level clearances and precision differential pressure control systems to ensure zero-leakage sealing of highly hazardous chlorine gas.
- High-Speed Stability and System Control: With units running at speeds exceeding 10,000 RPM, there are stringent requirements for rotor dynamics, bearing performance, and long-term reliability. Meanwhile, the system must undergo aerodynamic optimization and employ precision anti-surge control to adapt to complex and fluctuating process conditions.
- High-End Manufacturing and Precision Assembly: Breakthroughs in domestic production hinge upon advanced manufacturing capabilities, including precision forging, 5-axis simultaneous machining, ultra-high-precision dynamic balancing, and micron-level assembly processes.

Leveraging its deep expertise in the turbomachinery field, NEW JCM successfully assisted Bohua Development in the localization and transformation of the caustic soda chlorine gas compressor. This product is currently the domestic chlorine compressor with the largest single-unit capacity, capable of supporting the operation of a 300,000-ton/year ion-exchange membrane caustic soda plant. Beyond overcoming challenges related to corrosion resistance and high-efficiency stability, this product serves as a direct, high-performance replacement for imported machinery — significantly lowering both capital expenditure and operational costs for end-users.

Showcasing Innovation and Strengthening Industry Partnerships
The company also hosted a dedicated booth at the concurrent Innovation Achievements Exhibition, presenting its latest advancements in traditional oil and gas chemicals alongside its forward-looking layout for the green chemical sector. The booth drew significant interest from industry experts and partners, further strengthening NEW JCM's collaborative network within the industrial chain.

Deepening Expertise in High-End Equipment and Steadily Expanding Development Potential
As we stand at the critical juncture of the 15th Five-Year Plan's commencement, the localization of high-end energy equipment has entered a period of strategic importance. NEW JCM remains committed to technological innovation, focusing on core equipment such as centrifugal compressors and industrial drive steam turbines. By continuously breaking through technical bottlenecks and advancing the localization of critical fields, the company remains dedicated to providing robust high-end equipment support for major energy and chemical projects in China. Looking ahead, NEW JCM will continue to collaborate with industry partners to deepen collaborative innovation across the industrial chain, contributing further to the high-quality development of the energy and chemical sectors.
