Chlor-alkali – Tough to Measure
The chlor-alkali process is fundamental to modern industry, producing essential chemicals such as chlorine, hydrogen, and caustic soda. However, it also involves handling aggressive and potentially hazardous gases, where even small leaks or emissions can pose risks to both human health and the environment. Continuous and reliable gas monitoring is therefore not just a regulatory requirement it is a cornerstone of safe and efficient operations.
In our latest blog, we take a closer look at the challenges associated with monitoring gases such as chlorine (Cl2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl), particularly in harsh industrial environments. We also highlight how advanced optical measurement techniques can provide accurate, low-maintenance solutions capable of detecting very low gas concentrations.
