Thyssenkrupp nucera has secured another chlor-alkali technology order in China worth a low double-digit million-euro sum, strengthening its foothold in the country and expanding its installed base in Northwest China, a major hub for large-scale chlor-alkali production.
Hongniu Lanzhou Environmental Protection Technology has selected thyssenkrupp nucera to provide licensing, engineering and procurement services, key equipment and commissioning support for a new chlor-alkali project.
The order further reinforces thyssenkrupp nucera’s position in China’s chlor-alkali market, where demand is being driven by industrial expansion, capacity additions, modernization and growing pressure for greater energy efficiency and environmental performance.
“This order underlines the continued confidence customers such as Hongniu Lanzhou place in thyssenkrupp nucera’s technology, execution capabilities, and chlor-alkali expertise. With our advanced e-BiTAC v7 technology, we are providing a reliable, energy-efficient, and future-ready solution for large scale chlor-alkali production,” says Keisho Cho, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera China and Japan.
Hongniu Lanzhou chose thyssenkrupp nucera based on its established technology, operating references, project execution capabilities and lifecycle support. The project will use thyssenkrupp nucera’s latest-generation e-BiTAC v7 technology for energy-efficient chlor-alkali electrolysis.
The e-BiTAC v7 technology achieves power consumption of less than 1,960 kWh per tonne of NaOH at 6 kA/m². Built on thyssenkrupp nucera’s established BiTAC technology platform, the system is designed to improve operational performance, reliability and lifecycle value in demanding industrial environments.
For Hongniu Lanzhou, the project also marks its entry into the chlor-alkali industry.
“With this project, we are entering the chlor-alkali market. A strong partner is essential as we build up our chlor-alkali business. thyssenkrupp nucera’s combination of energy-efficient operation, proven reliability, and global chlor-alkali expertise offers a compelling value proposition for large-scale chlor-alkali projects”, says Wang Zhaomin, General Manager of Hongniu Group.
The deal also advances thyssenkrupp nucera’s strategy of expanding its position in the global and Chinese chlor-alkali markets while growing its installed base in key growth regions.
China remains a major market for the electrolysis specialist, supported by industrial demand, capacity expansion, plant modernization and the push for higher efficiency and improved environmental performance.
