Chlorine Production: Technology Transition
The aim in this upgrade project was to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in chlorine production through the use of environmentally compatible membrane technology. The upgrade has also enabled us to increase production capacity. Membrane electrolysis plant 1 was successfully taken into service in March 2010. Then, in spring 2015, we completed the switchover […]
Chlorine production: Switch to membrane technology
Commissioning the second membrane electrolysis plant in April 2015 completed the transition of chlorine production to the modern, ecologically sound membrane technology. Using this technology enables a reduction of CO2 emissions by 140,000 tonnes annually from May 2015 onward. Having finished this investment project, we were able to comply with the EU requirement to decommission […]
