in the listing of global science and research institues of british magazine nature, cas won the first place by 1357.82 points in 2016. this score almost double the score of havard university (772.33 points) and cas also ranks the top in three majors, physics, chemistry and the earth and environmental science.
in "created by china", chinese research institutes represented by cas has become the rich ore stored global top technologies after more than 30 years of development. but as for how to dig gold from rich ore and realize conversion from scientific and research achievements to technological industry, this is a question testing scientific and research teams of mainland china and the enterprenuers.
it is relieved to know that, as chinese enteprises constantly input power on innovative ability, more and more scientific and research achievements become out of the labs and powerful tool for chinese enterprises exploring the market. among such enterprises, levima advanced materials co., ltd. engaging r&d and production of chemical engineering and energy materials under legend holdings is a typical case (hereinafter referred to as "levima advaned materials").
by virtue of dmto technology winning first place of national science and technology progress award, levima advanced materials win a wide market by innovation. in the first half of this year, levima advanced materials developed homopolymerization pp product with high fusion pph-m600n on the basis of dmto device, becoming the largest domestic supplier of pp products of such brand. in terms of single energy consumpion of methanol and other technical and economic indicators, dmto devices constantly refreshes industrial records. technological innovation brings rising of performance indicators: under the condition that the price of crude oil drops sharply, the downstream demand is weak, and the performance of chemical industry slides down, products realize full production and full sales and revenue and efficiency grows significantly.
seize "chinese opportunities" by "chinese technologies"
dmto device of levima advanced materials is a productive unit utilizing excessive methnoal produced in china as the raw materials to producing ethylene, propylene and other low-carbon olefin. the methanol technology adopted by this device is developed on the basis of the patented technology of dalian institute of chemical physics, cas and the olefin separation technology is developed by luoyang petrochemical engieering corporation. this device is a dmto integrated unit fully adpoting china independent intellectural property technologies and is the first set of such device with 1 million tons/year of methanol feed in the world.
by far, the dmto device has operated steadily for 21 months, creating the longest time record of stable continuous stable operation after such device was put into use. the productivity reaches 115% of the design load and the overall profiting ability is leading within the industry. based on the advanced technologies of dmto devices, levima advanced materials has successfully created a complete intensive processing industrial chain of upscale olefin; successfully developed non-ion surfactants, polyether and blocking polyether products with more than 31 series and 110 brands, realizing industrialization of more than 60 brands, which are widely applied in architecture, daily use chemcals, textile, metal processing, pv, paper making, emulsion and synthesis, and coating; obtained breakthroughs in development of high performance pp, eva special material products and high performance modified engieering plastics.
"levima advanced materials successfully connect chinese technologies with chinese capitals, chinese resources and chinese market."
zheng yueming, assistant to president of legend holdings, and chairman of the board and ceo of levima advanced materials stated that:" firstly, in the technological aspect, the competitveness of cas in new material area, especially mto technology ranked the top of the world; in terms of resources, the mto technology of dalian institute of chemical physics takes coal as basic resource, which is partially substitute to petroleum. for a giant coal country as china, the industralization of this technology has national strategic significance; from the perspective of market, although chinese chemical material industry has been mature, the supply of high-end products from chinese enterprises are absolutely lacking. only successful innovation may seize this strategic opportunity and win market share.
win "chinese market" by "chinese innovation"
apparently, technological breakthroughs in new material areas represented by levima advanced materials does not only bring abundant profits, but also provides referable paradigm for traditional heavy chemical industry to implement supply-side reform through technological innovation.
however, levima advanced materials never feel satisfied with this. the journalist has learnt that currently, levima advanced materials is actively participating the initiation of establishment of "technological innovation and industralization alliance of chemical advanced materials, cas", actively promoting the realization of "three chain interlinking and integration of "innovation chain, industrial chain and capital chain" in cas related institutes.
it is known that this industrial alliance in preparation is oriented by market demands, assisting r&d institutes in r&d, lab test, and production, through creation of several innovative and industry conversion platforms, it establishes information communciation mechanism with the intent to effectively combine r&d accumulcation in chemical new materials area, innovative capability and industrial basis and operating ability of enteprises, so as to realize giant development of new materials enterprises and effective conversion of cas scientific and technological results.
"as market competitiveness is intensified, levima new materials will inevitably be a part of the competition of international tycoons. when competing with them, our enterprises cannot go beyond them in a short time no matter it is technological accmulation or capital input." as for the original intention of initiation of this industrial alliance, mr. zheng yueming provided the explanation.
"if it is product, our techonologies do not lag begind. however, as for how to developed differentiated products, so as to meet up consumption demand of china, we've been endowed with exceptional advantages. however, if we want to change the condition of partial following to particial overpassing and then to complete overpassing, relying on our own strength is not sufficient. we need more poweron the new materials industry chain to participate in." zheng yueming further explains.
if the vision of "technological innovation and industralization alliance for chemical new materials of cas" becomes true, it will undoubtly add more confidence for chinese-owned chemical new materials enteprises to push forward conversion of advantaegous scientific and research results.
local capital digging local scientific and technological achivements in china. the grand era is coming! in future, the indepth integration of scientific and technological achievements and commerse will become a kind of trend. the commercial conversion ratio of scientific and technological achivements will be effectively enhanced, so as to further lead the whole industry to innovate and enhance efficiency, so as to realize breakthroughs.
