BASF has expanded the production of ammonium chloride at its Ludwigshafen site, increasing capacity by 50% and improving product quality. Following the successful start-up of the plant, a more efficient production process is now being used to meet the growing demand for high-quality ammonium chloride.

"The start-up of our expanded production facility is an important milestone for the future supply of ammonium chloride to our customers," said Dr. Jan Nouwen, Senior Vice President Isocyanates and Precursors Europe, BASF. "At the same time, this is an investment in product quality – so our products will continue to meet the strict regulatory requirements for food and feed applications in the future."

By investing in an advanced ammonium chloride process that is integrated into the production Verbund and is therefore highly efficient, BASF is emphasizing its long-term commitment to remain a reliable and world-leading supplier of ammonium chloride. The optimized process enables the production of ammonium chloride in even higher quality in order to meet future requirements of the industry.
