Electrolysis equipment delivered to RusVinyl, October 9, 2012

The equipment for electrolysis was delivered on the RusVinyl PVC plant construction site. Rusvinyl has opted for the modern membrane bipolar electrolysis technology, supplied by German manufacturer UHDE...

In total six electrolysers will be put in operation, allowing an annual chlorine production of 205,000 tons. All the chlorine volume will be sent to the VCM unit; while the caustic soda
produced in the electrolysis will be sold on the commercial market, and the by-product hydrogen will be re-injected in the production process as pyrolysis fuel.
