Fujia Dahua to relocate PX plant
The government of Dalian, Liaoning Province, said Thursday that it is pushing forward the relocation of the Fujia Chemical Plant Paraxylene (PX) project.
This was in a response to media reports earlier this week that the halted PX plant, located in the industrial park of Jinzhou new area, had secretly resumed.
The PX project is part of a national blueprint to revitalize the old industrial base in Northeast China. PX is a toxic chemical used to make polyester products.
Tens of thousands of local residents protested on August 14, 2011 and demanded the plant move out of the coastal city after a typhoon wiped the area and destroyed a dyke near the project.
Local authorities then began to study relocating the project, and a meeting was held in December 2011 with experts on relocation.
The relocation plan passed the feasibility study and assessment in July.
