License, EPC, key equipment supply and commissioning support for a large e‑BiTAC v7 chlor‑alkali plant in Northwest China; low double‑digit million‑euro order.
High-pressure reverse osmosis element reaches 220 g/L NaCl to push membrane treatment into ZLD/MLD, enabling higher water recovery, reduced liquid waste and selective salt recovery.
A 2 kW PEM electrolyser will be used for testing, skills development and system integration under variable renewable power, supporting localisation and PGM beneficiation.
Pilot to assess storing surplus renewable electricity as compressed air in a Danish salt cavern for long-duration grid balancing and energy security.
Pilot will test salt-assisted crystallization to refine LiCl from geothermal brines and recycled batteries into battery-grade lithium with lower energy, CO₂, water and waste.
Five-year progress includes ISCC PLUS-certified chloromethanes, RFNBO green hydrogen production, four EcoVadis Platinum ratings, and a 2024 Dutch agreement targeting near-zero CO₂ by 2030.
Fully electrified MVR salt plant starts operation in Mariager, boosting capacity ~60% to up to 1 million tons/yr while cutting energy use and CO₂ emissions.
Long-term offtake and feedstock deals worth $28.5bn secure global markets and local inputs for methanol, PVC, EDC/VCM, caustic soda, salt and gas, supporting 4.7 mtpa chemicals output by 2028
BYPHAR offers three-tier raw materials (Explore/Enhance/Excel) with GMP/regulatory-ready documentation; co-branded suppliers and global supply, supporting development to commercial manufacturing.
Cooling now uses industrial water from salt evaporation, cutting drinking-water use 80% (~300,000 m³), trimming total water use 10% and easing regional supply pressure.
