Thyssenkrupp Nucera Partners with Chlorum Solutions for US Chlor-Alkali Plant
Chlorum Solutions USA, a subsidiary of Brasil-based Chlorum Solutions group, partners with Thyssenkrupp Nucera to develop its first US chlor-alkali plant in Casa Grande, Arizona. The facility addresses the need for decentralized chemical production, enhancing supply chain resilience.
The project will incorporate advanced processes to modernize chemical manufacturing. The US company specializes in chlor-alkali plants and will use the skid-mounted technology of Thyssenkrupp Nucera.
The electrolysis specialist will oversee the engineering and procurement of the plant’s chlor-alkaline electrolyzer using skid-mounted technology. This modular approach simplifies construction, reduces costs, and increases operational flexibility to meet local production demands, the partners said in a joint statement.
The Casa Grande facility will use Thyssenkrupp Nucera’s energy-efficient membrane technology, which the company claims to offer a lower environmental footprint than traditional methods. By localizing production, the plant eliminates the need to transport chlorine over long distances. Instead, it will produce sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, and caustic soda directly from salt, providing a reliable, safe supply for markets in Arizona and nearby regions.
“We are proud to collaborate with Chlorum Solutions USA on this groundbreaking project focused on innovation using a modular design,” said Sachin Nijhawan, CEO of Thyssenkrupp Nucera USA. “This partnership with Chlorum Solutions USA establishes a new benchmark for excellence in the chemical industry.”
