The final performance test of the new production plant for high-purity, aerosol-grade dimethyl ether (DME) in Russia’s Tula region was successfully completed in May. Deliveries of this odourless and environmentally friendly propellant to the first clients were initiated.

PCC Rokita SA increases the annual capacity of its chlor-alkali electrolyzis facility to 209,000 metric tons of chlorine, and 236,000 metric tons of lye. This corresponds to an increase of around 55% since 2016, which was reached initially through process optimization, followed by the addition of two additional electrolyzers in 2018 and the expansion of auxiliary facilities in the beginning of 2019. PCC Rokita SA now has a total of seven electrolyzers in its chlorine production facilities.

Projects
In Iceland, we built one of the world’s most advanced and most environmentally compatible silicon metal production plants, which we commissioned in 2018. The plant constructor officially hands over the keys with the signing of the Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) on October 30, 2019.
Chemicals
In the Polyols business unit, PCC Rokita SA commissiones a pilot plant with mini-reactors in which a wide range of product synthesis experiments can be carried out. In this plant, small quantities far below a ton of different polyols can be produced depending on customer requirements. In this way, PCC Rokita SA strengthens its increasing focus on higher-value specialty polyols.
