2-Methylanthraquinone, CAS number 84-54-8

PS Chemical Consortium's innovative and eco-friendly 2-methyl anthraquinone production line, with a capacity of 100 tons per year. Our groundbreaking process simplifies production by eliminating the need for acid precipitation, filtration, and drying steps, resulting in a more direct and efficient method. This new approach offers significant advantages, including lower energy consumption, reduced wastewater and waste acid, minimized equipment investment, and lower production costs, ultimately enhancing economic benefits. Committed to environmental sustainability, we have invested extensively in environmental protection measures. Our wastewater treatment system ensures that process and domestic wastewater are meticulously treated and safely discharged, while our advanced waste gas treatment facilities utilize multiple stages of scrubbing, adsorption, and high-efficiency exhaust systems to meet stringent emission standards. We also implement sound insulation, vibration reduction, and noise elimination measures to control production noise.
