Southern Basic Chemicals Joint Stock Company: Invest in technology, improve product quality
Determined to only provide the best quality products to the market, Southern Basic Chemicals Joint Stock Company (Sochem) has invested heavily in modern technology in order to both improve its quality and reputation. reduce costs and increase product competitiveness.
Standard technology from advanced countries
Proud of the 45-year journey of construction and growth, even in the most difficult stage of production and business, Southern Basic Chemicals Joint Stock Company devotes appropriate resources to investment in production technology. . As a result, up to now, the production lines of caustic soda – chlorine and acids of the Company own technology and equipment supplied from manufacturers in Europe/G7 countries.
Also thanks to modern production technology advanced, so the quality of products such as caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and many other products of the Company meets international standards, is stable, of good quality, and meets the strict requirements of the manufacturing industries. food, pharmaceutical chemicals, electronics… Therefore, it is always trusted and appreciated by customers, especially for customers with high requirements for quality.

Notably, in recent years, the assessment of the current state of machinery and equipment for the production lines as well as the forecasting and preparation of backup materials to ensure the initiative and Maximizing capacity in production is always focused on by the company.
Therefore, the production lines throughout the Company are always ready to maximize the design capacity, operate stably to minimize machine downtime, repair items are effective, ensure safety. production safety and stability.
The management of norms and product quality was also developed and adjusted in accordance with the current status and capacity of the production lines. In general, the norms of performance and product quality of the whole company have always been improved and better.
In addition, some electrolytic cell equipment and rectifier equipment of the caustic soda-chlorine production line of the old generation (since 1996) are outdated compared to the previous generation. world technology , so the Company has invested in technological innovation, replacing these devices with new generation equipment with modern technology to save energy and reduce operating costs, stabilizing manufacturing.

Along with investment in modern technology, Sochem also promotes scientific and technological activities, initiative movements, technical improvements applied to production activities, in order to improve production efficiency at factories, contributing to increase productivity and reduce costs. costs, ensure safety and environment, improve working conditions of workers, reduce manual labor. There have been many initiatives that have been applied by the unit in production to bring cost-effectiveness to the Company.
Thanks to research activities to improve product quality and production of new products to diversify products, the Company has produced chemical additives to meet the supply needs of the food industry. Especially in the context of the current complicated Covid-19 epidemic, the Company has successfully produced chloramine – B products that are used to disinfect and disinfect the environment and epidemic areas, contributing to supply guarantee for the domestic market.
The company is the first enterprise in the country to study successfully
and produce the disinfection product Chloramine – B
Currently, the Company has deployed the Base job management software application to manage and manipulate online tasks in departments. The goal is to eliminate desk operations, manage work effectively, maximize labor productivity and have solutions to work remotely in the context of complicated epidemic situation.
By continuous efforts over the past 45 years, up to now, the Company’s core products have been used to serve a variety of industries and industrial fields such as steel, electronics, food, food processing, etc. water, papermaking, textile dyeing, building materials, electricity nitrogen gas, detergent, sterilization and other industries. Products are classified into groups: Group of caustic soda – chlorine products; Group of products based on sulphate; Group of phosphate-based products, yellow phosphorus and other products
Notably, following the market trend and competitive situation of domestic and foreign competitors, in recent years Sochem has gradually shifted, focusing on its business model to the core business product of caustic soda – chlorine. . With the goal of promoting the consumption of products with high profit margins and great competitiveness, the Company’s caustic soda – chlorine products have been mainly supplied to the steel, electronics, battery, and textile industries. dyeing are industries with great growth potential…
Continue to invest heavily in science and technology
Although many results have been achieved in investment in science and technology, now, the strict requirements on environmental assurance in the chemical industry are forced to invest, improve the production line or even prepare to In the future, they have to move units out of the current industrial park, so it will significantly affect the Company’s business and production plan. In addition, the Company’s current production lines are small and medium-sized, with low capacity compared to other companies in the same industry in the world, so the competitiveness will not be equal.
In particular, some DD350 electrolytic cells belong to the old generation (since 1996) of the caustic soda – chlorine production line, which is outdated compared to world technology, so the maintenance and repair work for these tanks is very difficult. because manufacturers have almost stopped producing replacement materials and accessories for bottles or very limited production with high cost and extended time.
Concentration system of caustic soda solution with modern production technology
Therefore, in the coming time, Sochem sets the following goals: developing new products, researching new technologies, innovating operating processes… in order to optimize efficiency and labor productivity. In addition, in-depth research and investment in innovation of technology and equipment for production lines, improvement of product quality, and production of new products in order to diversify products and products to meet the needs of customers. requirements to meet customer requirements, low and competitive prices. Continuing to promote scientific and technological activities, initiative movements, technical improvements, and application to production activities at factories, contributing to increasing productivity, reducing costs, ensuring safety and environment. .
Promoting the role of employees, the Company will implement the movement into a movement to stimulate the working spirit, elicit ideas to help employees develop their potential, create many technical innovation initiatives, contribute more to the development of the Company and its own income. In particular, the Company organizes to evaluate, comment and reward improvement initiatives to honor and apply for replication throughout the Company.
In addition, the Company focuses on researching and understanding the application of science and technology of equipment in the production line of caustic soda – chlorine, sulfuric acid … to apply to the project of relocating factories in Bien Hoa I Industrial Park to Nhon Trach 6 Industrial Park, Dong Nai Province.
In the future to catch up with the world trend, when investing in relocation of factories, the Company will research and apply digital technology in production, business, management, etc. to increasingly improve the production and business processes. increase efficiency in the corporate governance system.
