Proven technology reduces energy consumption in chlor-alkali
plants
Regulatory News:
Technip (Paris:TEC) (ISIN:FR0000131708) (ADR:TKPPY) and Chemetry
have signed an exclusive cooperation agreement for the licensing
and engineering of Chemetry’s eShuttle™ technology for the
production of ethylene dichloride (EDC). EDC is a commodity
chemical produced worldwide and used primarily for PVC(1) plastic
production. The technology significantly lowers energy use, reduces
the carbon footprint and improves the safety of the chlor-alkali
and EDC industries.
The technology uses a unique metal halide ion process to produce
high purity EDC without the generation of harmful chlorine gas. The
process significantly reduces electrical power consumption
compared to latest generation chlor-alkali processes. Power savings
can be reduced by nearly half compared to older diaphragm or
mercury-based processes. Additionally, the process is ideally
suited for integration with oxygen depolarized cathode
technology(2), which further increases energy savings. The
technology was pioneered in Chemetry’s laboratory and integrated
pilot demonstration facilities in Moss Landing, California.
The agreement leverages Chemetry’s expertise in electrolyzer
design and halide chemistry with Technip’s global strength in
technology licensing, process scale-up, engineering and
procurement.
Technip’s operating center in Boston, Massachusetts, United
States, will manage the agreement, with support from Technip’s
office in Lyon, France. Both centers have first-of-a-kind
technology development and engineering experience and are part of
Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology, which looks after
Technip’s expanding portfolio of onshore process technologies in
petrochemicals, refining, hydrogen and syngas, polymers and gas
monetization.
Dr. Ryan Gilliam, Chemetry CEO, said: “Since its founding,
Chemetry has been focused on redefining how chemicals are made.
From lower energy requirements and improved margins, to less impact
on the environment and safer operation, we are developing a
technology platform that will have a lasting impact.”
The eShuttle™ technology uses the same feedstocks and produces
the same products (EDC, caustic and hydrogen) as conventional
processes, making it ideal for retrofitting existing
chlor-alkali/EDC plants especially where electrical costs are high.
It also offers EDC producers the ability to expand production
within the same cell room footprint and power requirements.
Stan Knez, President, Technip Stone & Webster Process
Technology, added: “Technip is pleased to work with Chemetry on
this innovative project. Our strong technology, engineering and
commercialization experience coupled with Chemetry’s catalysis and
electrochemistry expertise will enable us to provide customers with
a complete technology and engineering package, a single point of
interface and the highest quality standards. With the support of
Technip’s technical teams in Boston and Lyon, we look forward to
bringing the technology forward to full commercialization.”
(1)PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a widely produced synthetic
plastic polymer that comes in two basic forms. The rigid form is
used in construction of pipe, doors and windows; the flexible form
is used for cable insulation and signage.(2)The eShuttle™ platform
is compatible with Covestro’s oxygen depolarized cathode technology
which introduces oxygen into the standard chlor-alkali cathodic
reaction eliminating the production of hydrogen and lowering the
energy required to produce sodium hydroxide.
