Lower power consumption technology in chlor-alkali industry
In 1975, Asahi Kasei began the first commercial chlor-alkali production using the membrane electrolysis process. This is an industrial process for the electrolysis of sodium chloride, used to manufacture caustic soda and chlorine, without using hazardous material, and with lower energy consumption.
Asahi Kasei strives for technical leadership in the world-wide chlor-alkali industry, by continuously improving its membrane electrolysis technology, including the AciplexTM-F perfluorosulfonic acid membrane, and the AcilyzerTM electrolyzer with operation technologies. The superiority of Asahi Kasei chlor alkali process technology is recognized all over the world, with more than 130 plants currently using it, leading to a production capacity of over 25 million tons of caustic soda per year.
At the Euro Chlor, held from May 16-18 in Berlin, Germany, we are proud to announce the brand new membrane grade Aciplex F7001X, which will be evaluated in the market in the coming months, and which will meet customers’ strong requirements for lower power consumption in the chlor alkali industry.
Our presentation will take place at Block 1, starting at 8:40 on May 16th. You can also find us at booth 50, where we will introduce you to our innovations.
We look forward to seeing you.
