Xinya Provincial Technology Research and Development Center
The Xinyang Xinya Paper Group Provincial Technology Research and Development Center covers an area of 6060 square meters, with a building area of 800 square meters. The company's annual investment in new product development accounts for about 2% of the enterprise's sales revenue.
Since 2000, the research and development center, under the leadership of the chairman and party secretary of the group company, Song Jingzhi, has formed strong alliances with Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, South China University of Technology, China Paper Development Company, Hubei University of Technology, and other units. It has successively undertaken and completed five national major scientific and technological research projects, technology development, and innovation fund plan projects, as well as more than ten scientific and technological research and development projects in Henan Province, making positive contributions to the promotion and application of advanced technology in pulping, papermaking, and environmental protection in China. The company has successively invited Professor Hou Shizhen, a famous alkali recovery expert from Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, and Senior Engineer Pei Baoquan, an alkali recovery expert from our province, to work at the group technology center. After a year of research, they finally overcame the difficulties of extracting, evaporating, burning, and causticizing black liquor from wheat straw pulp, achieving a black liquor extraction rate of 90% and an alkali recovery rate of 85% for the group's 100 tons/day alkali recovery. This achievement has reached a leading level in the country and received unanimous praise from domestic alkali recovery experts at the 2004 China Paper Society Alkali Recovery Professional Committee meeting. In 2003, the research and development center collaborated with the National Engineering Research Center for Papermaking and Pollution Control at South China University of Technology, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, and other units to complete research on mid-stage water treatment in pulping and papermaking, ensuring that all wastewater from the entire group company meets stable and standard discharge requirements, receiving praise from provincial experts and the provincial environmental protection bureau. In 2004, the research and development center undertook the national key technology innovation project assigned by the former National Economic and Trade Commission—APMP poplar chemical pulp production technology development for white cardboard, which has been completed.
Currently, the research and development center has collaborated with the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, the Technology Center of Shandong Wenrui Group, the Department of Light Chemical Engineering of Hubei University of Technology, and other units to carry out research on APSP cotton stalk chemical pulp production for A-grade corrugated base paper. With the approval of the Henan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the research and development center is currently drafting the industry standard for "Corrugated Base Paper" in collaboration with the National Paper Standardization Technical Committee.
Since its establishment, the Xinya Group Company's research and development center has developed 12 practical new technologies in pulping, papermaking, and environmental protection. Currently, the research and development center has gathered a group of talents and has a core team of engineering technology application development researchers, with 60 full-time engineering technical personnel, including 7 nationally renowned experts, 6 doctors, and 10 masters.
