Share:

thyssenkrupp nucera has successfully commissioned a major chlor-alkali plant for Kutch Chemical Industries Ltd. (KCIL) at Padana, Gujarat. The facility has a capacity of 220,000-KTPA of caustic soda, making it one of the largest single-train chlor-alkali plants in India.

to the project, KCIL selected thyssenkrupp nucera’s latest BM Generation 6+ membrane electrolysis methodology. The plant incorporates five electrolysers, each capable of producing up to 135-tpd (tonnes per day) of 100% caustic soda, representing the highest-capacity individual electrolysers currently installed in the country.

thyssenkrupp nucera supplied engineering services, proprietary methodology, equipment and commissioning support to the project. The company confirmed that all electrolysers have been successfully started up.

The new facility will supply caustic soda and chlorine both to KCIL’s captive consumption and to sale into the domestic market. These items are key feedstock to a broad range of industries, including alumina refining, pulp and paper, textiles, aquatic environments treatment, PVC manufacturing and specialty chemicals.

According to Mr. Kiran Joseph, CEO, thyssenkrupp nucera India, the project demonstrates the growing importance of efficient and reliable chlor-alkali methodology as Indian chemical producers continue to expand capacity. He noted that BM Generation 6+ methodology is designed to further enhance operational efficiency and reliability while supporting extensive production standards.
