This article explains the core processes in a chlor‑alkali facility—how brine is prepared and purified, followed by electrolysis to produce chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen. It covers modern cell technologies (membrane, diaphragm, mercury) and main production steps .
Why it’s useful: Excellent for understanding the overall plant layout and product streams in everyday engineering terms.
A recent technical PDF/report (May 2025) aimed at service and engineering partners. It goes into detail on equipment design parameters such as chlorine drying, cooling systems, sulfuric acid piping, compressors, and cell power and hydraulics .
Why it’s useful: Offers up‑to‑date insights into mechanical and electrical infrastructure challenges and design standards within chlor‑alkali plants.
A U.S. Energy Guide from 2025 focusing on improving energy efficiency in major unit operations—including brine purification, electrolysis, product processing, and plant utilities (motors, pumps, heat recovery). Includes best practices and case studies .
Why it’s useful: Ideal for operations engineers or plant managers wanting to reduce energy usage, operational costs, and emissions.
