Jiujiang 30,000-tonne alkali-free line

The Jiujiang 30,000-tonne environmental alkali-free glass-fiber furnace line was ignited and entered production on 20 June 2006. The narrative reports a 176-day construction period, 19,300 square metres of building area and CNY 250 million of investment; the project-specific investment section separately reports CNY 254 million. The source does not reconcile those amounts. The construction note identifies the Jiujiang 30,000-tonne furnace line and records CNY 228.095 million transferred to fixed assets with no closing construction balance. This is not a substitute for total investment or annual cash expenditure. Management separately describes technology for furnaces using waste glass-fiber strands as feedstock; the environmental label does not itself establish emissions, recycling yield or site-wide environmental performance. The 30,000-tonne expansion is kept distinct from the older 10,000-tonne Jiujiang line.

The same investment programme approved a 30,000-tonne annual-capacity alkali-free tank-furnace drawing line at Jiujiang, with production expected in the third quarter of 2006. Jushi Group held 99% of Jiujiang in the cited ownership discussion. Capacity, chemistry and the approval period identify this as a further Jiujiang project; it is not merged with the older 10,000-tonne environmental line merely because both were built at the same base.
