Chlor-alkali technology produces essential chemicals like chlorine and sodium hydroxide, crucial for various industries including pharmaceuticals and water treatment. Digitalization is enhancing this sector by improving operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Read more on how our digital technologies are revolutionizing chlor-alkali processes to maintain industry competitiveness and resilience.
The US chlor-alkali industry is facing a significant shift. Historically, the sector has produced chlorine primarily through diaphragm technology. However, a recent EPA ban on asbestos imports for chlor-alkali production necessitates a transition for many plants in the United States. This move towards asbestos-free production methods has led to the increased implementation of membrane technology in the chlor-alkali industry.
thyssenkrupp nucera offers state-of-the-art chlor-alkali technologies: Bipolar Membrane (BM) Single Element technology, Bipolar Ion-Exchange Membrane Process Electrolyzer (BiTAC), and NaCl Oxygen-Depolarized Cathode Electrolysis technology (NaCl-ODC). Let’s take a closer look at each of these technologies and their benefits.
In the quest for a more sustainable future, the demand for green hydrogen production technologies is on the rise. Among the various options available, Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cells (SOEC) and Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE) are two prominent technologies to be considered for the process of water electrolysis. Choosing the right technology is crucial to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this blog post, we will delve into the details of both SOEC and AWE, providing a comprehensive comparison to help you make an informed decision for your green transformation needs.
The Holland Hydrogen 1 project, which has been recognized as the 2024 World Hydrogen Awards “Clean Hydrogen Project of the Year” by the Sustainable Energy Council, brings together thyssenkrupp nucera’s electrolysis know-how, Shell’s knowledge of the energy system, and the port’s infrastructure to build a ground-breaking 200 MW green hydrogen facility in Rotterdam.
