Olin to Reduce Chlor-Alkali Capacity Across Three Separate U.S. Facilities

摘要

Clayton-Olin Corp. plans to close a combined total of 433,000 t/y of chlor-alkali capacity at three separate Olin facilities in the U.S. (PCN, 9 Nov 2015, p 1). Effective 31 Mar. 2016, chlor-alkali capacity at its Free-port, Texas, plant will be reduced by 220,000 t/y from its diaphragm cell capacity. Following the reduction, Olin will have 1.58-million t/y of diaphragm cell capacity and 1.45-million t/y of membrane cell capacity.
