CALCIUM CHLORIDE PRODUCTION PLANTS

Calcium chloride is a chemical compound with the formula CaCl₂ that is used in dozens of applications in a wide range of markets, from construction and road maintenance to manufacturing, oil and gas, food and beverage, and agriculture.

KERN S&D plants respond to a worldwide need, which is the on-site industrial production of small volumes of Chlorine and chlorinated products such as calcium chloride.

TECHNOLOGY

KERN S&D has innovative technologies for the production of calcium chloride, using the following methods: [1] treatment of limestone (calcium carbonate) / calcium oxide (lime) with hydrochloric acid (high purity); [2] treatment of calcium carbonate with sodium chloride brines (low yield). The plants designed and developed by KERN S&D use safe, environmentally friendly and highly competitive technology due to their low investment and operating costs (high electrical efficiency and degree of automation). KERN S&D’s technology complies with the Community Directives on Best Available Technologies (BAT) for chlor-alkali production (Directive 2010/75/EU).
