Chlorum Solutions

Chlorum Solutions is a privately held Brazilian company that specializes in building, owning, and operating small-scale chlor-alkali plants using a decentralized production model. It focuses on producing chlorine derivatives including sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and caustic soda (NaOH) for water treatment, sanitation, and industrial applications such as mining, pulp and paper, textiles, and chemicals.

The company employs modular skid-mounted plants with advanced membrane electrolysis technology, often sourced from partners like thyssenkrupp nucera, to enable safe, just-in-time delivery via pipelines and eliminate the risks associated with transporting liquefied chlorine gas. Plants are designed for high energy efficiency, minimal effluents, and operation on renewable energy sources, supporting the company's carbon-neutral status since 2020 and goals for zero waste.

Chlorum Solutions operates under a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model, financing and managing facilities through long-term customer contracts. It maintains multiple plants in Brazil, including Palmeira in Santa Catarina, Uberlândia in Minas Gerais, Igarassu in Pernambuco, and sites in Ceará, Maranhão, Bahia, and Rio Grande do Sul, plus operations in Uruguay. Expansion includes a new facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, in the United States. Headquartered in São Paulo, the company is structured with Chlorum Solutions Brasil Ltda. and related holdings, led by executives including CEO Alfredo Kerzner.

In the chlor-alkali sector, Chlorum Solutions is recognized as a pioneer in sustainable, customer-proximate supply solutions that reduce logistics costs, environmental impact, and supply chain vulnerabilities compared to traditional large-scale centralized production.
