Advancements in Phosphate Chemical Production at Goway Phosphate Plant

The Goway Phosphate Production Base is in the Luowei Tang Industrial Park of Daoping Town, Fuquan City, in the Qiannan Prefecture of Guizhou Province. The plant is conveniently situated near the Anfu Expressway and phosphate mines. Covering approximately 500 acres, the facility currently employs nearly 400 staff members. It has a total investment of 800 million RMB and an annual output value nearing 1 billion RMB.
Established in 2016, the plant completed its Phase I construction by the end of 2019 and began operations successfully. Phase II construction commenced in June 2021 and was completed in July 2022. The factory produces and operates yellow phosphorus, phosphate chemicals, formic acid, formate salts, lime, and other related products.
The company’s key products include yellow phosphorus, phosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid, monosodium phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), formic acid, phosphate slag powder, potassium formate, and quicklime. It has an annual production capacity of nearly 700,000 tons.
Leveraging the region’s rich phosphate resources, the company has developed a “mineralization integration” deep-processing phosphate industry, turning local resource advantages into industrial advantages. By focusing on technological innovation, the company is committed to integrating phosphate salts and formate salts and utilizing “three wastes” (wastewater, waste gas, and waste residue). This sustainable approach aims to enhance resource utilization and improve environmental conditions to achieve zero wastewater discharge throughout the company.
Additionally, the company adheres to high environmental management standards, employing the distinctive “Six No’s” management system. With continuous technological and management innovation, the company is enhancing its competitiveness, gradually shifting towards more refined industrial products, and embracing a circular economy. This sustainable model promotes a positive production cycle, environmental protection, and resource reuse, positioning the company as a leading example of a green phosphate chemical circular economy in China.
