Low-cost production of chlorine dioxide without importing sodium chlorate: the Aker Solutions integrated chlorine dioxide process offers a low cost method of producing chlorine dioxide without the requirement to import, handle and store sodium chlorate crystal, sulphuric acid, or methanol.
By making sodium chlorate in-situ, our process offers a guaranteed supply, and avoids the dependence on the cyclical chlorate market, while eliminating the costs, uncertainty, and hassle to import and store large quantities of chlorate crystal.
With the only inputs being chlorine, power, and water, our proven process offers the lowest cost method to produce chlorine dioxide, with no salt cake for disposal.
Chlorine dioxide solution is produced in our modern low-chlorine ClO2 generation process, for use in producing ECF grade bleached pulp with full acceptance in the market.
With over 25 references, our integrated chlorine dioxide technology has been widely adopted by world class pulp mills as a means to gain a production cost advantage, to balance chlorine/caustic demands at the bleach plant, or to avoid dependence on an external chlorate supply.
Our proven and efficient process consists of three plant areas to produce sodium chlorate, hydrochloric acid, and chlorine dioxide, which are integrated into a plant design with an efficient and accessible layout and low maintenance requirements.
