Calcium Chloride from Limestone

Calcium Chloride is a product of neutralization of hydrochloric acid with limestone and serves as a basic component for the chemical, food, and construction industries. This chemical is typically produced in the form of flakes or granules.

Thermal Vapour Recompression (TVR)

Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE)

Rising Film Evaporator

Forced Circulation Evaporator / Crystalliser (FC)

Value

  • High temperature differences and proven material of construction ensure optimal equipment design
  • Multiple Effect Evaporator achieves high energy efficiency
  • A variety of feedstocks can be accommodated using Rising Film or Forced Circulation Evaporator
  • Feedstocks include: All concentrations of aqueous calcium chloride; pre-concentrated salt brines from the soda industry (soda ash); and by reaction of hydrochloric acid and limestone 
  • Sources of hydrochloric acid can be the production of caustic through electrolysis or chlorinated polymers

Process

  • Concentration in field-proven evaporator equipment 
  • Calcium Chloride Flakes 78–80% (via Flakers and Calciners)
  • Calcium Chloride Granules 78–80% or 95–98% (via Fluid Bed Granulators)
