09-Oct-2013 - South Africa

LANXESS has commissioned a new CO2 concentration unit at its Newcastle production site in South Africa. LANXESS has invested some EUR 40 million to build the unit, which was completed in just 19 months. The company operates a highly modern plant at the site for the production of sodium dichromate, which is mainly further processed into chrome tanning materials for the global leather industry. The plant is the only one of its kind in South Africa. The production technology requires a continuous supply of highly concentrated CO2, which the new unit will provide.
