Aker Solutions' integrated chlorine dioxide technology and proprietary sodium chlorate electrolysers offer a proven low cost method of producing high purity chlorine dioxide in situ. This avoids the dependence on the cyclical global chlorate market or the solids handling problems associated with importing and storing sodium chlorate crystal, sulphuric acid, or methanol.

 

"Aker Solutions' integrated chlorine dioxide technology has been widely adopted by world class pulp mills as a means to gain a production advantage. With the successful execution of this latest project award, our experience will span some 30 integrated chlorine dioxide plants designed and built around the world," said Doug Shaw, president of Aker Solutions' Chemetics business.

 

Project execution and management, including engineering, procurement and construction support services, will be performed by Aker Solutions' offices in Vancouver and Beijing/Shanghai. The integrated chlorine dioxide plant is scheduled for start-up in mid 2011.

The Aker Solutions contract party is Aker Chemetics, a division of Aker Solutions Canada Inc.
