The current plant is operating since 2020 and consists of five electrolyzers with thyssenkrupp nucera’s proprietary BM Single Element technology. With this expansion, the capacity will be more than doubled to an additional 670 metric tons per day NaOH (100%). Completion and commissioning are planned for 2023; the contract size is in the lower double-digit million-euro range. With this investment, Kutch Chemical Industries intends to strengthen its market position and meet the growing demand for basic chemicals in the region and growing internal demand as well.
