Brussels, July 22, 2015 – Solvay has signed an agreement with Siberwood LLC to examine the construction of new hydrogen peroxide capacity in Russia, using Solvay’s innovative myH2O2® technology which is particularly suitable for large customers requiring secure on-site production in
remote areas.
Solvay and Siberwood are assessing whether Solvay is to build a Satellite Peroxide production unit, known as myH2O2®, on Siberwood’s green-field project of producing 900,000 tons of market pulp per year, in the Krasnoyarsk region, Siberia, Russia.
This tailored, on-site unit would be fed by the excess hydrogen feed-stock from Siberwood’s upstream chemicals plants and supply hydrogen peroxide to Siberwood. Siberwood would also provide other utilities and site services to Solvay’s Satellite Production unit.
Solvay’s myH2O2® Satellite Peroxide production units’ unique performance for safe, reliable and competitive operation originates from multiple patented innovations in process intensification and in compact, skid-mounted design.
