INOVYN plans to build a new state-of-the-art membrane cellroom to produce chlorine and caustic soda in Germany.
Once it's built in 2021, most of the chlorine will be used by INEOS Oxide to produce more propylene oxide at its site in Köln.
The caustic soda, which manufacturers use to make such things as paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, will be sold in Europe to ensure INOVYN's customers don't run out.
“This is another major investment that will underpin the sustainability and competitiveness of our business in the long-term,” said CEO Chris Tane.
This project is part of a wider investment programme by INOVYN which has seen changes to its membrane cellrooms in Sweden and Belgium and the development of a large-scale potassium hydroxide production plant also in Belgium.
