1. Dalad Industrial Park
Dalad Industrial Park, established in 2001, has a planned area of 61.18 square kilometers. By the end of 2021, it had developed an area of 37.83 square kilometers, with a total investment of 89.87 billion yuan. The park's main industries are energy, chemicals, and new materials.
Currently, the park has achieved significant milestones, including a 4,196,000 kilowatt installed power capacity, and the ability to produce 2.4 million tons of methanol, 400,000 tons of ethylene glycol, 200,000 tons of stable light hydrocarbon, 250,000 tons of dimethyl ether, 500,000 tons of PVC, 48,000 tons of xanthan gum, and 300 tons of avilamycin.
It has also an established production capacity of 100,000 tons of silicon carbide crystal materials, 1,000 tons of graphene conductive slurry, 1,950 tons of optoelectronic communication new materials, 1,000 tons of polyphenylene sulfide, 120,000 tons of high polymer organic silicon, and 22,500 tons of high-end chemical and energy materials.
The park has 12 ceramic production lines and has an established production capacity of 330,000 tons of PVC deep processing, 450,000 tons of caustic soda, 7.5 million cubic meters of environmentally friendly bricks, 21.6 million square meters of foam wall ceramic tiles, and 3.2 million tons of solid waste cement.
Additionally, it can produce one million tons of alumina, 530,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum, 42,000 tons of high-purity aluminum, and 100,000 tons of high-performance aluminum alloys.
Its industrial chain focuses on coal-electricity-aluminum deep processing, clean energy chemistry, new construction materials (ceramics), and new materials.
It aims to create an integrated circular chain in the coal-electricity-aluminum deep processing industry.
In the clean energy chemical industry, the emphasis is on developing modern coal chemical, chlor-alkali chemical, bio-chemical, and hydrogen energy chains.
In the new materials (ceramics) industry, the focus is on developing new ceramic construction materials and industrial ceramics.
The park aims to become a comprehensive green and low-carbon demonstration industrial park, with a focus on clean energy, chemicals, new materials, fine chemicals, new construction materials, high-end manufacturing, photovoltaics, metallurgy, logistics, and related supporting industries.
2. Dalad Logistics Park
Dalad Logistics Park, formerly known as Malantan Logistics Park, was established in September 2011. The park covers an area of 11,676.15 acres. It has completed the construction of the Futian Agricultural Materials Logistics Project and two residential communities.
The park has planned six main and secondary roads spanning 35 kilometers, with ten roads currently under construction and 8.1 kilometers already completed.
The park aims to become a 10 billion yuan-level Fengshuilian Quartz Sand Industry and Agricultural and Livestock Product Processing Park, promoting light industry and introducing new materials and technologies. It strives to be an intensive, efficient, and sustainable demonstration park with control over energy consumption, as well as a modern, intelligent, and environmentally friendly logistics park.
