Eka Chemicals has more than 40 years proven experience with chlorine dioxide. First used by Eka as a bleaching chemical to aid in the pulp and paper industry, it is now also utilized to make drinking water safer (Purate®).
Creative chemistry
At Eka Chemicals we continuously try to minimize environmental impacts of pulp bleaching chemicals. For more than three decades we have pioneered numerous major advances in bleaching technology. Our chlorine dioxide supply concept is a revolutionary business and technological solution that lets you focus on what you do best - making bleached pulp.
We can shoulder full responsibility for your chlorine dioxide supply, whatever kind of technology you use. By full responsibility we mean everything from raw materials through production and on to delivery of the finished product.
Flexible solutions
Due to its product properties chlorine dioxide must be generated onsite. How we implement the concept varies from mill to mill. You can retain ownership of the chlorine dioxide plant, or we can acquire it. In both cases we assume full technical and economic responsibility for the plant's operation and you get a guaranteed, stable and cost-effective supply of chlorine dioxide.
What's more, we can change the chemistry in your generator and use hydrogen peroxide as a reducing agent instead of methanol or
SO2
if you wish. Eliminating these flammable and hazardous substances will minimize the problems with by-products and create a safer and more comfortable working environment. You also gain considerably increased generator capacity, as well as a more stable process.
Multiple benefits
By letting us handle your chlorine dioxide supply you achieve a number of benefits. You free manpower so that your employees can focus on your core business of making bleached pulp. You gain optimum operational stability and increased productivity as our expert teams continuously monitor and fine-tune the production process. You gain complete technical support and achieve a lower total cost for your ClO2.
