Small-scale remote controlled chlorine production units.
04-07-2008: Akzo Nobel Base Chemicals, together with partners Uhdenora and Uhde, introduced a new concept for chlorine production with state-of-the-art technology: small-scale remote controlled chlorine production units.
In addition to the existing, large-scale production of chlorine, Akzo Nobel now offers to build and operate small-scale chlorine production plants forming an environmentally driven alternative for chlorine transportation or an economical alternative for the replacement of smaller plants that still use the outdated mercury electrolysis. Specialist Akzo Nobel personnel will operate the installations by remote control.
The small-scale chlorine plants have a maximum capacity of 15,000 metric tons per annum. Installations are equipped using standardized engineering which succeeded in down-scaling to maximize efficiency. This also applies to the compact electrolysis cells, and to the other components that make up the installation, which are built up in modules and skid-mounted by Uhdenora. Due to the modular nature of the plant, very little construction activity is required at the site itself. The space taken up by the plant is comparable to half a football field (36 x 46 meters).
"Akzo Nobel Base Chemicals will operate the chlorine plants from A to Z", says Ellen Holmen, Business Manager for Akzo Nobel's Remote Controlled Chlorine Production. "You could say that we have put together a 'no trouble'-package for our customers. And we produce vacuum salt suitable for application in these small installations. The customers do not even have to get involved in questions like what to do with the by-products, the caustic soda, hydrogen, etc: We will take them back, because we have a dedicated sales network for them - if the client does not want to purchase them from us."
The small-scale chlorine production units were developed by Akzo Nobel Base Chemicals (Amersfoort, the Netherlands) together with engineering and construction companies Uhdenora (Milan, Italy) and Uhde (Dortmund, Germany), well-known for building electrolysis cells, and both long-standing business partners of the company.
