Eka builds chlorine dioxide plant at French pulp mill

摘要

A new chlorine dioxide plant will start up at the Alizay pulp of M-real during the 2nd Quarter of 2005.It will provide the mill with round the clock service and cost efficiency-by minimizing the total cost of chlorine dioxide production.Built by Eka Chemicals,a division of Akzo Nobel,the plant will utilise SVP-LITE technology,whereby methanol is used to generate chlorine dioxide,rather than the more commonly used sulphur dioxide.
