Mumbai/India – Thyssenkrupp Nucera has successfully commissioned a major Chlor-Alkali plant for Kutch Chemical India in Padana, Gujarat, India. The plant has an annual production capacity of 220,000 metric tons of caustic soda (NaOH). With a production capacity of up to 675 metric tons per day of 100 % NaOH, it is one of the largest single-train Chlor-Alkali plants in India. For this project, Kutch Chemical selected Thyssenkrupp Nucera's latest BM Generation 6+ technology.

The new plant will support Kutch Chemical's production activities and strengthen its supply to the domestic market. Kutch Chemical will use the caustic soda and chlorine produced at the facility for its own production processes as well as for sales in the Indian market.

Thyssenkrupp Nucera provided engineering services, proprietary technology and equipment, as well as support during start-up and commissioning. The facility deploys five electrolyzers based on Thyssenkrupp Nucera's BM Generation 6+ technology. Each electrolyzer can produce up to 135 metric tons per day of 100 percent NaOH, making it the highest-capacity single electrolyzer currently installed in India. The operation of the electrolyzers has successfully started.
