Downsized to maximize efficiency

The small scale chlorine plants are complete chlor-alkali plants, based on the best available technology using membrane electrolysis cells. The plants have a maximum capacity of 15,000 metric tons per annum. The installations are designed and produced using standardized engineering, and we have succeeded in down-scaling to maximize efficiency. We compensate the missing scale effect compared to a large plant by operating and steering a larger number of smaller units remotely by one organization. And thereby we realize the scale benefits across the units. The operational costs involved in the remote controlled chlorine plants are thus competitive.

The electrolysis cells are designed as skid-mounted modules by our partner, UHDENORA. The other components that make up the installations are also modular and skid-mounted, meaning that very little construction activity is required at the site, just the assembly. The modular base also facilitates efficient accessibility for maintenance and inspection. All in all, the space required for the plant is comparable to about half a football field (74 by 55 meters).
