Today there are two main faciltiies in China. Our original plant is located in the city of Suzhou. The 15,855 square meter space is home to offices, a production plant, warehouses, and a research and design center. Our new research center in Suzhou provides technical support throughout Northern Asia and allows Nalco to more quickly deploy new technologies in the region. The 16 scientists and engineers currently working in the center are focused on paper process chemicals and industrial water treatment. This center is developing additional capabilities in membranes, mining and petroleum refining and processing.
Our newest facility in China is a 240,000 sq. foot (22,300 square meter) plant in the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park. It has 29 employees and an annual production capacity of 37,000 metric tons. The existing facility has space to expand to 75,000 metric tons per year and the 15-acre (60,000 square meter) site is designed to allow double that capacity for a potential total production of 150,000 metric tons per year.
Nalco has been able to offer several solutions to industry issues in China ranging from scale treatment to corrosion and pollution in cooling water for boiler systems. Flagship programs -- including TRASAR technology and the PORTA-FEED advanced chemical handling system -- have been able to establish Nalco as an industry leader is this country of more than one billion people.
