As the core inheritor of China’s modern national chemical industry, Tianjin Bohua Yongli Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. traces its origin to Yongli Soda Ash Company founded in 1917 by patriotic industrialist Fan Xudong and chemical engineering pioneer Hou Debang. Endowed with the technical heritage of Hou’s Combined Soda Process—the No. 1 invention patent of the People’s Republic of China—and the legacy of the "Red Triangle" China Time-honored Brand, it has evolved from a single soda ash producer into a modern chemical leader with coordinated multi-sector operations after a century of industrial iteration, standing as a typical model of high-quality development for traditional chemical enterprises.
Located in Lingang Economic Zone of Tianjin Binhai New Area, the company covers an area of 2 square kilometers. Leveraging its geographical proximity to Tianjin Port, it has built a "port-chemical integration" operation system, forming an industrial pattern with in-depth integration of marine chemicals, coal chemicals and petrochemicals. It currently boasts production capacity for over ten product categories, including 800,000 t/a combined soda ash, 500,000 t/a methanol, 350,000 t/a acetic acid, 40,000 t/a polyoxymethylene (POM) and 150,000 t/a food-grade liquid carbon dioxide. Following the launch of its octanol optimization project in 2025, its total butyl octanol capacity has surpassed one million tons per year, ranking among the top in China. With its self-developed rhodium catalyst regeneration technology for oxo synthesis, the company was awarded the title of Tianjin Municipal Manufacturing Single Champion, breaking the long-standing industry barrier of heavy reliance on imported high-end catalysts.
As a National High-Tech Enterprise and a 2025 National Green Factory, the company has filed over 300 patents cumulatively, with steadily deepening green and low-carbon deployment. It has completed two phases of hydrogen refueling mother stations with a combined annual capacity of 7,000 tons, serving as a core hydrogen supplier for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Fuel Cell Vehicle Demonstration City Cluster. It realizes resource utilization of carbon dioxide through industrial tail gas purification, and supports distributed photovoltaic and residual pressure power generation projects. Together with its supply chain partners, it completed the steam-to-electricity retrofit of its air separation unit, achieving an annual carbon reduction of over 800,000 tons and forming a closed-loop circular economy production model.
Its products are exported to global markets including Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, and it has been listed among the Top 500 Petroleum and Chemical Enterprises in China for consecutive years. Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Bohua Yongli is accelerating its expansion into high-end chemical new materials and new energy sectors, fostering new quality productive forces through technological innovation, and continuously elevating the century-old national chemical brand to the high end of the value chain.
