Plant 4
Plant 4 is designed around the concept of manufacturing low-metal products. Ultrapure water is supplied in lines throughout the plant, allowing the final product to be dried, removed, and packaged in a clean room. Another feature of this system is that it can safely handle large quantities of chlorosulfonic acid and thionyl chloride, which are difficult to handle, as well as the effluent and exhaust gas generated in the reaction.
