MOSCOW (MRC) -- Inovyn (London, U.K.)
has been selected by Koyuncu Group to supply chlor alkali technology as part of
a EUR16 million investment at a new production facility in Konya province,
Turkey, said Chemweek.
Inovyn
will provide BICHLOR bipolar electrolyzers for a new 33,000-m2 facility that
will produce chlorine, caustic, sodium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid.
The new facility will have an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons, with
potential for further investment in the production of derivatives in the
future.
Engineering, construction and start-up for the project will be
provided by Vespro A.S., an experienced supplier of process equipment for
chemical and industrial plants, both domestically and internationally. The
project duration is 15 months and production is planned to start by the
beginning of 2022.
Ibrahim Koyunco, Chairman of the Executive Board of
Koyuncu Group, states: “When selecting the technologies for our investment,
choosing environmentally friendly, sustainable and energy efficient cutting-edge
technology was essential."
Terry Healy, Business Manager for INOVYN
Electrochemical Technology, said: “We are pleased to be recognized as
electrochemical experts and a trusted partner with a significant track record
for high-quality products. We look forward to a successful project with
Vespro and Koyuncu, delivering on our commitment to reducing the overall
lifecycle cost for our customers."
As MRC reported earlier,
the November production of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) in Russia amounted to
111 thousand tons (100% of the main substance) against 108 thousand tons a month
earlier. For eleven months of the year, the total production of caustic soda
amounted to 1,165.6 thousand tons, which is 1.3% less than the same indicator of
the previous year. |
