Annual Chlorine Production Capacity to Hit 175,000 Tons 

Executive operations for the construction of two chlorine production units have started in Khuzestan Province, the minister of cooperatives, labor and social welfare said.
“The initiatives, estimated to become operational in less than 12 months, will help raise chlorine production capacity in the region to 175,000 tons per year, or 480 tons per day,” Solat Mortazavi was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Giving a breakdown, the official noted that the first venture is being undertaken by Abadan Petrochemical Company at an estimated cost of $500,000, which will increase the company’s annual revenues to $7 million.
The liquid chlorine evaporation facility will add at least 30 tons to the company’s present daily chlorine production of about 50 tons, he added.
