PRODUCTON PROCESS

The major product of T.C.C is Caustic Soda, produced by

the electrolysis of brine solution (solution of NaCl).
Chlorine and Hydrogen are produced as the biproducts
during the electrolysis, along with the major product
NaOH.

PROCESS

The brine solution is prepared at a concentration of

320g/ltr in water in the saturator. Salt impurities in the
solution is purified in the purifier by adding chemicals and
the impurities are precipitated out. From here solution is
brought into the brine clarifier where other impurities are
removed as sludge. The brine solution is then send into
the filters to achieve 100% purity. From the filters we get
pure brine solution.

Brine solution from the filters are taken to the electrolysis

plant, where it is electrolyzed. Membrane cell electrolysis
technology is used such that 32% of caustic soda solution
is obtained. This is send to Continuous Caustic Fusion
(C.C.F) plant to dehydrate the caustic soda and produce
solid caustic soda flakes.

Chlorine produced is used for commercial purposes and

also for producing Hydrochloric acid. In the acid plant HCl
is produced from Hydrogen and Chlorine, heated at high
temperatures, water is sprayed to produce HCl. The
remaining Chorine is liquefied, stored and used for other
purposes.
