Borsodchem selects Casale for their second Nitric Acid plant

Casale and Borsodchem, a subsidiary of Wahua Chemical Group (China) have sealed a contract for the supply of a new 660 MTD, nitric acid plant at the Kazincbarcika factory in Hungary. The plant will produce 68% strength acid and it is based on Casale’s DualPURE  process, the same applied in the first, identical unit which has been in operation since 2012 on the same site. Casale scope of supply includes the provision of the license, the basic engineering, the review of detail engineering and site assistance. "We are very pleased by the continued trust placed by Borsodchem on us and our nitric acid technology also for their second plant. Casale is strongly committed to deliver the same level of high quality, superior performances and long-term reliability as the first one which is in operation since 2012", has commented Mr F. Zardi, CEO of Casale. DualPURE is Casale’s Dual Pressure nitric acid process  developed by Casale after having acquired GPN's entire  Nitrates and Phosphates fertilizer technology portfolio from Borealis.
