| Uhde to Supply Plant to Lukoil Chemical Group The Lukoil Chemical Group, part of the Russian mineral oil group Lukoil, has commissioned Uhde, a company in the Technologies segment of the ThyssenKrupp Group, to engineer and supply a new chlor-alkali electrolysis plant. The plant will be located at the site of a Ukrainian subsidiary in Kalush, some 500 kilometres south-west of Kiev. The plant, which will have a capacity of 177,000 tonnes per year of chlorine and 200,000 tonnes per year of caustic soda, is to come on-stream in mid 2008. Lukoil Chemical Group is investing some 110 million euros in converting its diaphragm electrolysis plant to the latest generation of energy-saving Uhde membrane cells. Uhde's scope of services will include the basic and detail engineering, supply of equipment and supervision of the erection and commissioning work. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
