1585 Eco Partners NuVest EIA

NuVest Recovery Solutions proposes to develop a chemical plant. The proposed plant production capacity is based on producing 10t/day of chlorine. The plant will have a bulk storage capacity of approximately 17 473 tonnes with a maximum single storage capacity of 4 617 tonnes (13 074m3) of chemicals within the facility. The chemical plant will specialize in the production of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), chlorine (Cl2), and hydrogen (H2) through the chlor-alkali process. These three intermediate products will then be further processed to produce hydrochloric (HCl) acid, bleach (12-13% sodium hypochlorite solution), and caustic lye (47% solution in water). No chlorine or hydrogen will be stored on site. Other chemicals (not produced on site will be delivered in road tankers and offloaded into the bulk tanks before decanting into IBCs and or polycans. The proposed plant is located on 110 Batoliet Road in Meyerton, within the Sedibeng District Municipality, Gauteng Province.
