40% FERRIC CHLORIDE PRODUCTION PLANTS

Ferric chloride or iron chloride is a chemical compound with the formula FeCl3 that has a variety of uses in many industries. However, about 60% of the iron chloride that is manufactured is used for the treatment of wastewater or drinking water because it is an excellent flocculant.

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 Ferric Chloride.

TECHNOLOGY

KERN S&D has innovative technologies for the production of Ferric Chloride from iron and chlorine gas or iron oxides, hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas. The plants designed and developed by KERN S&D use safe, environmentally friendly and highly competitive technology due to their low investment and low 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).
