On January 23, the author visited the site of the advanced wastewater treatment facility at the No. 5 Chemical Plant of the Nylon Chemical Company and saw rows of neatly arranged filtration equipment and a network of process pipelines crisscrossing each other. Here, process wastewater from the production facilities is uniformly collected, undergoes multi-stage filtration and purification, and ultimately becomes clean, reusable recycled water that supplies multiple production areas.

It is reported that this reclaimed water recycling system can save the company over 3 million tons of fresh water annually and reduce production costs by nearly 4 million yuan, yielding highly significant economic and environmental benefits. The system passed its performance evaluation in September 2025 and is now operating stably at full capacity.

In enterprise production, conducting process optimization can identify pain points in production management, unblock bottlenecks hindering enterprise development, and create highlights for healthy growth. It serves as the "golden key" for enterprises to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Moreover, it helps enterprises enhance their inherent safety levels, lower production costs, improve product quality, and embark on a "new journey" of transformation and upgrading.

According to statistics, by 2025, Shenma Shares will have completed and put into operation nearly 20 process optimization projects in the nylon sector. These projects cover areas such as centralized procurement of key equipment and materials, improvement of product quality, adjustment and optimization of the industrial chain, upgrading and retrofitting of production equipment, green transformation of production processes, and recycling of waste materials. Collectively, these projects are expected to reduce costs and boost efficiency for the company by 260 million yuan annually.

To better optimize production process management, Shenma Shares established the Process Optimization Center in July 2025. The center is composed of key experts from Shenma Shares’ responsible departments and production units. By integrating internal and external resources, it systematically identifies pain points and bottlenecks across the entire production process, promotes cross-unit collaboration and optimization, breaks down departmental barriers, fosters synergistic teamwork, enhances specialized operational management, and elevates the company’s overall production management level.
 

The Process Optimization Center is strengthening communication and collaboration with manufacturing enterprises. Through internal recruitment and external networking, we will effectively screen research topics and conduct feasibility studies. Aerogels possess excellent thermal insulation properties, including low thermal conductivity, energy-saving and heat-insulating performance, lightweight and durability, ease of construction, as well as fire resistance and water repellency—making them an outstanding thermal insulation material. Shenma Shares has reached out to leading companies in the industry and organized production managers from various units within the nylon sector to learn about the characteristics, application scenarios, and key advantages of aerogel products. We have also consolidated and analyzed the demand for aerogels across different units and are now launching centralized bulk procurement. According to our estimates, once all units gradually adopt aerogel insulation materials starting in 2026, the nylon sector could see annual efficiency gains exceeding 9 million yuan and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 10,000 tons each year.

During the project construction phase of process optimization, the Process Optimization Center has organized a specialized team to fully participate in drafting the construction plan, monitoring construction progress, managing construction quality, and steadily advancing the project. Shennma Shares addresses the issues of high water consumption per unit product and challenging wastewater treatment in chemical and synthetic fiber enterprises, as well as environmental protection and governance. With a focus on stringent requirements, we will strengthen the optimization of production processes and designate Nylon Chemical Company and Hydrogen Chemical Company as pilot units. These two companies will each collaborate with different manufacturers to carry out process optimization and upgrades for wastewater treatment. In the fourth quarter of 2025, both units will complete their performance evaluations. Furthermore, Shenma Shares will conduct comparative analyses across various parameters—including production processes, project scale, influent water quality indicators, and cost-effectiveness—to provide implementation templates, selection criteria, and promotion strategies for other units within the sector that wish to adopt this technology.  

After the project is completed, the Process Optimization Center will take the lead in organizing a special review to comprehensively evaluate the project’s achievements in strengthening safety management, reducing costs and energy consumption, enhancing product quality, and improving production efficiency. In accordance with documents such as the “Group’s Decision on Performance-Based Incentives for the Implementation of Key Scientific Research Achievement Transformation Projects” and the “Performance Reward Management Regulations for the Nylon Sector,” relevant personnel will be rewarded accordingly.

Next, Shenma Shares will focus on the actual needs of production and operations, fully leveraging the Process Optimization Center’s role as an “accelerator” for enhancing quality and efficiency. We will further refine and improve our process optimization management system—covering “project construction, performance evaluation, and experience dissemination”—to speed up the transition of production optimization from “isolated breakthroughs” at individual production units to “collaborative advancement” across the entire business segment. Ultimately, this will create a “multiplier effect” that reduces costs and boosts efficiency throughout the entire industrial chain, thereby supporting the company’s healthy development.
