Qinghai Fato Alkali Industry Co., Ltd. is located in Delingha City, Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is a large-scale, stably operating soda ash and basic chemical manufacturing enterprise under Qinghai Province’s state-owned capital system. Its core business covers research and development, production, and sales of co-produced chemical products including industrial soda ash (sodium carbonate), baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and ammonium chloride. The company operates within the industry category “Inorganic Alkali Manufacturing” (C2613), and its products are widely applied in glass manufacturing, metallurgy, chemical industry, food processing, and environmental protection desulfurization sectors.  

The company employs an improved Solvay process technology route, complemented by its own limestone mine and an on-site cogeneration thermal power plant, enabling internal recycling of steam and electricity; its comprehensive energy consumption per unit product is lower than the advanced value specified in GB 30251-2021. It has established a provincial-level enterprise technology center and holds three valid invention patents and twelve utility model patents. Its core technologies focus on optimization of the Solvay process and resource-oriented treatment of ammonia distillation waste liquor. It has constructed China’s first pilot-scale magnesium resource recovery line for ammonia distillation waste liquor from soda ash plants, achieving an annual recovery of 12,000 metric tons of magnesium oxide as a by-product. Its “Production Process for Low-Salt Dense Soda Ash” won the Third Prize of Qinghai Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award in 2022.  

The company has obtained certification for the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 management systems; holds the “National Industrial Product Production License” (XK13-015-00123); was included in Qinghai Province’s 2023 list of “Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative” small- and medium-sized enterprises; and has been added to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s (MIIT) compliant enterprise directory under the “General Principles for Green Factory Evaluation” (2024 updated edition). With an annual soda ash production capacity of 1.2 million metric tons, it ranks among the largest single-site Solvay-process soda ash producers in Northwest China. Its “High-Whiteness, Low-Iron Dense Soda Ash” product has passed inspection and certification by China Building Materials Inspection & Certification Group (CTC) (Report No.: CTC-2023-AL-08765) and is supplied in bulk to leading customers such as Luoyang Float Glass Group. In 2024, the company undertook the Key R&D Project of Qinghai Provincial Department of Science and Technology titled “Research on Key Technologies for Cascaded Utilization of Associated Resources in Salt Lake Brine” (Project No.: 2024-ZJ-711), conducting pilot-scale verification jointly with the Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes, Chinese Academy of Sciences.  

Currently, its primary business focus lies in the Northwest and North China markets, serving customers across 11 provinces and autonomous regions—including Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. In 2024, its share of soda ash supply within Qinghai Province reached 67%. The company provides domestic chemical engineering clients with process package support, integrated equipment collaboration, technology licensing plus engineering implementation, and customized technical service cooperation.
