Arkema increases by 10% hydrogen peroxide production capacity at its Jarrie site, France
Arkema is launching a major expansion plan at its Jarrie facility (Isère - France) in 2007. Overall investments of some EUR 7 million shall help enhance the plants' reliability and increase commercial grade hydrogen peroxide production capacity by 10% to 115,000 metric ton per year, therefore consolidating the site's long-term competitive position.
"This development plan will rank the Jarrie facility among world leading sites, and will allow us to meet growing demand in Europe from our main customers in the paper pulp and paper bleaching, chemical synthesis, detergence, agro-food and electronics markets", stated Marie-Pierre Chevallier, Vice President of Arkema's Hydrogen Peroxide Business Unit.
The project is part of a global plan to consolidate the Jarrie facility's hydrogen peroxide activity by improving its competitiveness and reliability, while also reducing its energy consumption and global impact on the environment.
