Investment Overview
INOVYN has announced a significant investment in a large-scale potassium hydroxide (KOH) production facility at its Antwerp/Lillo site in Belgium. This move reinforces INOVYN’s position as Europe’s leading KOH supplier and highlights the company's long-term commitment to the KOH market.
Project Progress
Work on the project is already well underway, with initial ground-breaking completed, key additional site infrastructure in place, and major plant items procured. The new 160kT KOH plant will utilize the latest technology and is scheduled to be operational in 2017.
Cost Efficiency
The project will leverage much of the existing infrastructure at the Antwerp/Lillo site, making it highly cost-competitive. The site was chosen for its strategic location, which is well-suited to serve European customers.
Logistical Advantages
The proximity to the Port of Antwerp facilitates efficient KOH movements by ship. Additionally, the site is advantageous due to its direct pipeline connections to major chlorine customers, which is co-produced with KOH.
