Eka Chemical Island

With a full-scale Chemical Island in place, our customers benefit from a tried, tested and successful concept managed and operated – on site, 24/7 – by our experts who ensure consistent production and delivery of chemicals needed to operate the mill.

At a typical Chemical Island, we manufacture sodium chlorate and generate chlorine dioxide which is then pumped directly to a pulp mill. Depending on the customers' needs, we can also manage all the logistics for the other chemicals required for their pulp mill operation.

Deciding when and where to build a Chemical Island is complex. We work with each customer to determine the best solution for their needs.

Typical benefits of a Chemical Island:

• Sustainable manufacturing processes, reducing environmental footprint,
• Dedicated partner, managing all chemical handling requirements,
• Proximity to customer point-of-use reduces transportation, increasing eco-efficiency and safety,
• Energy derives from the pulp mill (energy produced from biomass),
• Shared services with the pulp mill (security, entrance, scale, canteen), enabling cost optimization,
• Local jobs created, positively impacting the community,
• Long-term contract, commitment and partnership.
