Bid Farewell To ALL
Your Chlorine-related
Worries
If you own, or are planning to own, a chemical plant (e.g. isocyanate plants, etc.) that utilizes chlorine and byproduces hydrochloric acid, you can maximize the cost competitiveness of your entire chlorine business while contributing to the reduction of environmental footprint. By incorporating our process, you can establish a closed recycle loop and significantly reduce the use of fresh chlorine, thereby optimizing and stabilizing your chlorine business as a whole.
How?
Realize a Closed Recycle Loop of High-Quality Chlorine at
Lower Cost & Reduced
Carbon Footprint.
- Did you know that you could recycle and obtain higher quality chlorine than you started with?
-
We have successfully made a break-through to the catalytic recycle of hydrogen chloride to chlorine, a “Deacon process” that had faced difficulties in establishing a competitive edge for years due to difficulties in developing a suitable catalyst.
- Sumitomo HCl Oxidation Process is a gamechanger in the field of chlor-alkali chain.
-
With our proprietary catalyst and streamlined process, you can not only obtain even higher purity chlorine compared to fresh chlorine from salt electrolysis, but also
- Reduce your electricity cost by up to 94%
- Reduce your CO2 emission by up to 94%
As a result, you will be able to insulate your entire chlorine business from both the fluctuating global chlorine market and the rising electricity costs, thereby realizing a robust and stable chlorine business.
The “Three Elements of Trust”
in Sumitomo HCl Oxidation Process
-
Operational Excellence
- Your Competitive Edge:
- You minimize your overall OPEX of not only Cl2 production but of the entire chlor-alkali chain through robust plant reliability and stable supply of chlorine.
- Smooth and successful start-up in all licensed plants
- Stable long-term operation in all licensed plants
- Better yet:
- We continue to innovate and have developed a new generation catalyst with a longer life
