Details: 600 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Sodium Hydroxide E12A target a 600 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Sodium Hydroxide Production from Sodium Chloride (Mercury Process)
This report analyses the economics of Sodium Hydroxide production from brine in Germany, via a typical mercury cell process. In this process, sodium chloride is decomposed electrolytically, producing sodium hydroxide. Chlorine and hydrogen are generated as by-products in the process.
Details: 220 kta Germany-based plant | Q1 2024 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Sodium Hydroxide E13B target a 220 kta (kilometric tons per annum) Germany-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Sodium Hydroxide Production from Lime and Sodium Carbonate
This report presents the economics of Sodium Hydroxide production from lime and sodium carbonate in the United States, via a conventional lime-soda process. In this process, calcium hydroxide is generated by treating lime with water. Then, calcium hydroxide reacts with soda ash. Besides Sodium Hydroxide, Precipitated Calcium Carbonate is also obtained as product.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Sodium Hydroxide E21A target a 100 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Sodium Hydroxide Flakes Production
This report presents the economics of solid caustic soda flakes production starting from a 50 wt% caustic soda solution in water. In this process, caustic soda is concentrated to about 99 wt% and the resulting melt is cooled and processed into flakes. The analysis is based on plant located in the United States.
Details: 60 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Sodium Hydroxide E31A target a 60 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Sodium Hydroxide from Sodium Chloride (HCl as Co-Product)
This report presents the economics of a Sodium Hydroxide production via a typical membrane process integrated with the production of hydrochloric acid. In this process, sodium chloride is decomposed electrolytically producing sodium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen. Hydrogen and chlorine are reacted forming hydrogen chloride, which is subsequently absorbed in water to produce an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The analysis is based on plant located in the United States.
Details: 500 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Sodium Hydroxide E41A target a 500 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

About Caustic Soda. Caustic Soda (a.k.a. Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH, Lye) is a major inorganic compound, used in several industries. It is a white, translucent crystalline solid. It is commonly referred to as caustic soda due to its corrosive action on many substances - it decomposes proteins at room temperatures and may cause chemical burn to human bodies. Although it does not occur in nature, sodium hydroxide has been manufactured on large scale for many years from readily obtainable raw materials and is used in numerous industrial processes.
Caustic Soda Uses. The uses and applications of Caustic Soda may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Caustic Soda are liquid 32% (32% caustic soda solutions),liquid 50% (49-51% caustic soda solutions),and solid (min. bulk density of ca. 0.9 kg/dm3,flakes,prills,tablets,pastille,and cast blocks).
Intratec Methodology. Intratec distilled its expertise, gained from more than a decade of supporting companies worldwide in the analysis of commodities markets and process economics, and developed a consistent report development methodology.
The methodology ensures a holistic, coherent, and consistent techno-economic evaluation, guiding the development of a report that allows readers to fully understand a specific process technology for the production of a commodity. In addition to being based on a common methodology, all Intratec reports that approach industrial processes have a common structure, i.e., indexes, tables and charts share similar standards. This ensures that Intratec’s readers know upfront what they will get and, more than that, will be able to compare technologies addressed in different reports.
Our methodology is continuously tested and proven by the many corporations involved with the commodities sector, R&D centers, EPC companies, financial institutions and government agencies that rely on our reports.
