Membrane Technology

Imagine a world without safe drinking water, without PVC for our infrastructure, or without the possibility of producing paper. All of this is made possible by two fundamental pillars of the chemical industry: chlorine and caustic soda. These chemicals, essential for disinfection, the production of plastics, and textiles, are at the center of a technological revolution that we cannot afford to ignore.

It is no longer just about "how" to produce them, but "how effectively and responsibly" to do so. The answer? Membrane technology. This is the most advanced method for chlor-alkali production, and we are here to decode, in a bold and direct manner, the advantages that are rewriting the rules of the game.

Membrane technology employs an electrolysis process that splits chemicals through a selective membrane. But don't just think of a simple process: think of a system capable of ensuring exceptionally high productivity while critically minimizing energy consumption.

In the current chlor-alkali landscape, where increasing current density drives up cell voltage, efficiency is not an option, but the key to rock-solid competitiveness.

This is where bold innovation makes the difference. High-quality electrodes, such as those in DE NORA's VECTROL line, are designed to contain the voltage increase, transforming energy expenditure into savings and ensuring that, even with the installation of more electrodes to maximize output, performance remains uniform and reliable.

Since the 1970s, the company has led the development of these membrane electrolyzers, introducing cutting-edge solutions.
Furthermore, the introduction of Reverse Current Resistant Cathodes eliminates the need for polarity units, resolving operational issues and simplifying plant management. Innovation is in their DNA, supported by a global R&D team always a step ahead of industry demands and regulatory changes.

What clearly emerges is that this is more than just technology; it is a manifesto of efficiency and dedication. Working closely with partners and customers, the goal is not just to supply products, but to actively drive the evolution of the sector.
The commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals and the energy transition demonstrates a clear direction towards a more sustainable future.

Membrane technology is not only the efficient present of the chlor-alkali industry, but its promise of a responsible tomorrow.

If efficiency, innovation, and sustainability are the pillars of your business, you cannot afford to ignore this decoding.
