Shandong Shengda Starts up Nanometer Calcium Carbonate
Expansion Production Lines

By Jenny Du
Shandong Shengda Technology Co., Ltd. (Shandong Shengda)
recently announced that the completion and partial startup of
two nanometer calcium carbonate expansion production lines in
Xianyang, Shaanxi province, each with a capacity of 20 000 t/a.
It is expected that the expansion production lines will be fully
put on stream in November 2007 when the total nanometer calcium
carbonate capacity of Shandong Shengda in Xianyang will reach
100 000 t/a. The nanometer calcium carbonate expansion
production lines have a total investment of US$10 million, are
expected to increase a sales of around US$15 million per year
for the company.
   In 2006, Shandong Shengda invested RMB900 million to
construct a 100 000 t/a nanometer calcium carbonate production
line - the first phase of the 1 million t/a nanometer calcium
carbonate production line. The 100 000 t/a production line was
put on stream on October 20th, 2006 and used the technology for
the production of nanometer calcium carbonate in membrane
dispersing micro structural reactors jointly developed Shandong
Shengda and Tsinghua University. (CCR2006, No.31)
   Established in 1993, Shandong Shengda is a nanometer
technology company that listed on NASDAQ in 2006.
