As the industry's grand event settles in southern Xinjiang, a leading enterprise from Henan heads to the appointment. The 43rd ICSOBA International Conference and Exhibition will kick off grandly in Nanning on October 26, 2025. As a top-tier technical forum for the global bauxite, alumina and aluminum industry, this conference is not only the third time that ICSOBA has landed in China, but also the first time it has taken root in Guangxi, a hot land for the aluminum industry. Henan Jiuye Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiuye Chemical"), relying on its outstanding achievements in the field of high-efficiency and energy-saving equipment, has been invited to attend the conference. Mr. Ju Lirang, the company's chairman, will deliver a special speech to work with global industry elites to map out the blueprint for the green development of the aluminum industry.

Since its establishment in 1963, ICSOBA (International Committee for the Study of Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium) has become an authoritative exchange platform covering the entire industrial chain of "bauxite - alumina - electrolytic aluminum". The venue selection of its conferences has always been closely linked to the core global aluminum production areas. The choice of Nanning this time is not only because Guangxi is a major alumina production base in China, but also due to the local exploration and practice in the field of green smelting - which is highly consistent with the development path of Jiuye Chemical. As a national high-tech enterprise integrating scientific research, design, manufacturing, installation and service, Jiuye Chemical has been deeply engaged in the evaporator field for 26 years and has already left many technical benchmarks in the land of Bagui (the traditional name of Guangxi).

Technological innovation is the core strength behind Jiuye Chemical's invitation to the conference. The professional R&D team established by the company has overcome the bottlenecks of traditional equipment. The independently developed seven-effect two-stage split falling film evaporator has achieved a breakthrough of 30% energy consumption reduction and 25% efficiency improvement. This world-leading technology has won nearly 40 national patents. The 580t/h evaporator project built for Guangxi Tiandong Jinxin Chemical has set a record for the world's largest-scale seven-effect tubular falling film evaporator in the alumina industry and was certified as an "Excellent Construction Unit". The 400t/h evaporator EPC project of Guangxi Huasheng New Materials also won the "Ministry-Level Excellent Project Award", demonstrating the strength of "Made in Henan" with solid achievements. Up to now, these technologies have cumulatively saved more than 24 million tons of steam for the industry and reduced carbon emissions by 6.31 million tons, becoming a practical model under the "dual carbon" goals (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality).

At this grand event, Chairman Mr. Ju Lirang will give a relevant speech. As a technical leader who has been deeply engaged in the industry for many years, he has shared low-carbon practice experience at high-end forums such as the National Hydrometallurgy Conference and put forward the industry insight that "new energy-saving technologies are the only way for the sustainable development of the aluminum industry". It is reported that this speech will focus on "New Energy-saving Technologies in the Evaporation Section of Alumina Production". Combining Jiuye Chemical's service cases for global leading enterprises such as Chinalco and Rusal, it will analyze the collaborative path between equipment energy conservation and industrial carbon reduction.

From Zhengzhou to Nanning, from a domestic benchmark to an international stage, Jiuye Chemical's journey to attend the conference demonstrates the rise of Chinese equipment enterprises. The company has not only served key projects in 15 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) across China, but also exported its equipment and technologies to overseas projects such as Rusal Kenya and Jiuquan Iron and Steel Jamaica. It has won recognition from global customers with its "2-hour response and 48-hour on-site" gold-standard service system. This appearance at ICSOBA is not only an affirmation of its technical strength by the international industry, but also an important window for Chinese green smelting technologies to go global.

When global aluminum industry elites gather in Nanning, and when Henan's craftsmanship meets international vision, Jiuye Chemical is writing a new answer sheet for "Made in China" on the ICSOBA stage, with patented technologies as the pen and low-carbon practices as the ink. This grand event will eventually witness how the technical strength from the Central Plains injects strong momentum into the sustainable development of the global aluminum industry.
