Base Chemicals: strong and integrated product chain


Base Chemicals is made up of a strong and integrated product chain of energy, salt, chlor-alkali, and chlorine derivates (see below).

It all starts with energy, which counts for about 80% of the raw material used. By means of cogeneration gas is converted into steam and electricity. The steam and the brine are used to produce salt. Salt and electricity eventually result via electrolysis in chlorine, caustic, and hydrogen.
