Calcium Hypochlorite from Slaked Lime and Cl2 (Calcium Method)
Calcium Hypochlorite Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Calcium Hypochlorite production from slaked lime and chlorine via a typical calcium process. In this process, slaked lime is hydrated and chlorinated. A mixture of Calcium Hypochlorite, calcium chloride, and calcium hydroxide (also known as bleaching powder) is obtained as the final product. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Calcium Hypochlorite production and related Calcium Hypochlorite production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Calcium Hypochlorite production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Calcium Hypochlorite plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Calcium Hypochlorite plant operating costs (Opex).
The Calcium Hypochlorite production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Calcium Hypochlorite plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Calcium Hypochlorite plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Product
Calcium Hypochlorite. Calcium Hypochlorite is an inorganic salt with a white crystal solid appearance and a strong chlorine odor. It figures among the few metal hypochlorites that are stable enough to be produced as a solid salt, and it is the principal form of hypochlorite commercially produced worldwide. One of its characteristics is the far greater chlorine availability if compared to other chlorine salts, ranging from typical values of 60-99%.
Raw Materials
Chlorine. Chlorine figures among the most important chemical commodities. It is an indispensable intermediate in the chemical industry, employed in the manufacture of a multitude of end products (e.g. materials of construction, solvents, pesticides, etc). Most of chlorine produced on commercial scale is based on electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (brine), which also generates caustic soda and hydrogen as co-products (chlor-alkali processes).
Slaked Lime. Slaked lime is produced from limestone, a naturally occurring mineral consisting mainly of calcium carbonate. Limestone is thermally decomposed in quicklime (calcium oxide), which is then hydrated to slaked lime.
