en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the commissioning ceremony for the 800,000-ton/year sulfuric acid project in Kazakhstan, jointly undertaken by China Tianchen Engineering Corporation and the International Company under China Chemical Engineering Group, was held at the project site in Zhanatas, Zhambyl Region. Kazakhstan's Minister of Industry and Construction, Kanat Nurgaliyevich Sharlapayev, and the Governor of Zhambyl Region, Yerbol Karashukeyev, attended the ceremony in person, jointly witnessing this milestone moment in China-Kazakhstan production capacity cooperation.
This facility is currently the largest high-standard sulfuric acid project in Central Asia, fully utilizing domestically produced advanced acid-making technology with a total conversion rate of 99.9%. The project achieved the complete export of China's full industrial chain proprietary acid-making technology, equipment, and standards, filling the regional gap in sulfuric acid supply and enhancing the supporting capacity for local fertilizer production and mineral resource development. It has been included in the list of key production capacity cooperation projects between the two countries.
The project faced multiple challenges, including significant differences in local standards, strict drawing reviews, severe cold and strong winds, and cross-border supply chain coordination. The project team innovatively implemented a "pre-review + four-party centralized office" working model, achieving a 99% localization rate for main equipment and materials, benefiting nearly 200 domestic manufacturing enterprises. The facility achieved a successful first start-up at the end of November 2025, and completed all performance tests in March 2026, with all core process indicators exceeding design values.
This sulfuric acid project is a landmark project in China-Kazakhstan chemical cooperation. Its commissioning not only promotes the entry of Chinese chemical technology and equipment into the Central Asian market but also creates a large number of local jobs and cultivates a group of local technical talents. The project team has deeply promoted localized operations and cultural integration, establishing Kazakhstan's first project safety experience area and organizing China-Kazakhstan holiday exchange activities, solidifying the foundation of cooperation through cultural integration.
