Setup a Chlor-alkali Production Plant- Cost Analysis and Unit Operations

The chlor-alkali process is an essential industrial method for producing chlorine, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), and hydrogen by electrolysis of brine (saltwater). These outputs serve as key inputs in various industries, including water treatment, paper and pulp, textiles, and the production of PVC and other chemicals. The process typically utilizes membrane cell technology due to its energy efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to older diaphragm and mercury cell methods.

Chlor-alkali production plant setup requires access to reliable raw materials primarily salt and electricity along with regulatory approvals, environmental compliance measures, and investment in electrolysis technology. Strategic location near end-user industries and infrastructure support are also critical for operational efficiency.
