Chlorum Solutions USA announces the development of its first small-scale U.S. chlor-alkali plant in Casa Grande, Arizona. The plant will enhance local supply chain resilience in the U.S. chemical industry with its innovative decentralized model tailored for this purpose.

“Safety and efficiency are top priorities,” said Daniel Croce, CEO of Chlorum Solutions USA. “Our small-scale, local model reduces risks and costs associated with transporting liquefied chlorine gas across the country, aligning with increased customer preferences for localized production.”

With an investment of over $70 million, this plant aims to set a new standard in proximity-based chemical production, reducing transport risks and reliance on long-haul shipping. By serving markets outside major petrochemical hubs like Texas and Louisiana, Chlorum Solutions USA addresses a critical need for localized chlor-alkali production, which mitigates logistics and transportation costs by eliminating the need to transport chlorine, an inhalation hazard chemical, over long distances.

The facility will use state-of-the-art membrane technology, a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to older chlor-alkali technologies such as mercury and diaphragm.

“We are delighted to welcome Chlorum Solutions USA to our growing city for their first U.S. plant,” said Lisa Navarro Fitzgibbons, Mayor of Casa Grande. “With its strategic location between Phoenix and Tucson, Casa Grande stands at the center of the Arizona Innovation and Technology Corridor—a premier destination for business, manufacturing, and logistics. Chlorum Solutions USA will thrive here, thanks to the incredible talent and resources our region has to offer.”
