Chemfab Alkalis Limited (CCAL) has successfully commissioned a second production line for manufacture of PVC-O Pipes with a capacity of 3,000 TPA. 

Oriented Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC-O) Pipe with homogenous Spigot is a new-generation polymer product used in pumping mains for high pressure water conveyance. This pipe has entered the Indian market very recently and been designed for application in high-pressure water conveying. 

PVC-O is a plastic with the properties of metal and its properties compare very well with metal pipes, and offers a host of advantages over metal as well. 

CCAL has set up a facility to manufacture top-quality PVC-O pipes. The facility is a zero discharge plant, with absolutely no waste generated during the manufacturing process. This fits in with CCAL’s culture of sustainability and care for the environment. 

This new PVC-O plant is established at Sri City, TADA. Sri City is an integrated business township located 55 km north of Chennai on NH 16 in Nellore district, state of Andhra Pradesh. With two lines operational, the total production capacity has increased to 6,000 MTA of PVC-O. 

The company has established the first membrane cell plant for Chloralkali production in India and was established by Dr. Rao in 1985. CCAL has many ‘first’ to its credit and has received numerous patents and worldwide recognition for the viability and implementation of various innovative technologies in the Chloralkali sector. 

Notably, adoption of Membrane Technology for Chloralkali production in its Kalapet facility has resulted in nationwide reform of the sector. Today, all new and expanding Chloralkali plants in India must implement Membrane Technology – that was once believed to be unviable and impractical.
