Ercros – Sabinanigo (Spain)
Development of the control application for a new Chlorite plant in the Ercros facilities in Sabinanigo (Spain). Assistance to the commissioning of the new systems.

After 100 years in operation, the Sabiñánigo factory in Huesca structures its activity around 12 products grouped into four lines: chlorine-soda-potash; chloroisocyanurates; chlorates and chlorites; and hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. The factory’s combined production capacity exceeds 260,000 tonnes per year. Chlorine, soda and potash are obtained using membrane cell technology, the most advanced and sustainable process. A wide range of derivatives are obtained from these products. The Sabiñánigo factory is the leading European producer and fourth in the world of TCCA, a chloroisocyanurate used for the treatment of swimming pool water; and the leading Spanish producer of sodium chlorate, used to bleach paper pulp, and of sodium chlorite, used to make drinking water fit for human consumption.

This plant is part of the chlorine derivatives division and has a basic chemistry R&D centre. It employs more than 210 people.
