Production Methods
This section covers some general principles for production of calcium chloride and gives an overview of the production processes utilised by TETRA in Kokkola (Finland), Helsingborg (Sweden) and Delfzijl (the Netherlands). |
Basic Production Processes
Calcium chloride is produced mainly by three different processes—the limestone-hydrochloric acid, the Solvay process and the natural brine process. The selection of process is usually determined by the supply of raw materials and transportation and energy costs.
