Between the three different chlor – alkali production technologies, membrane is the most modern, the less energy demanding and produce caustic with the higher level of purity. Today is the only technology adopted for new installations.
In the last decade, De Nora collaborated first with ThyssenKrupp Electrolysis GmbH and then with its joint venture company tkUCE in developing the most innovative and performing membrane cell technologies (BM Generation 6 and nx - BiTAC).
In parallel De Nora developed its proprietary anode and cathode coating formulations able to sustain the high design current densities of modern membrane electrolyzers, providing superior performances in term of: voltage saving (specific energy consumption), gas and caustic soda quality, life time.
