Chlorination toll manufacturing in India

For chlorination steps that need chlorine on site, scrubbers that work and a plant permitted to run them.

No verified unit lists Chlorination capacity yet. Listings appear here the day our desk approves them, and the guide below is how we qualify one when it does.

Post your requirement and our broker desk looks for the capacity by hand, or list your own unit if you run one.

What chlorination on job work involves

Chlorination is bought as toll manufacturing because chlorine is a licensed, hazardous gas that most plants prefer not to store. Units that do handle it — from tonners under a gas licence, with caustic scrubbers and hydrochloric-acid recovery — take chlorination steps for agrochemical intermediates, pharma intermediates and dye intermediates on a job-work basis, returning the chlorinated product or carrying it into the next step.

The reactors are glass-lined or PTFE-lined because chlorine and the hydrogen chloride it produces attack steel, and the off-gas train is as important as the vessel: a two-stage scrubber, an HCl absorber where the acid is worth recovering, and continuous monitoring of the stack. Photochemical and thermal side-chain chlorinations add lamps or high-temperature service to the same picture.

What to check before you send an enquiry

The questions our desk puts to a unit before it qualifies an enquiry for Chlorination. A listing answers most of them; the trial batch answers the rest.

  • Chlorine storage and handling licence, tonner handling procedures and an emergency kit and drill the plant can show you.
  • Lined reactor condition — glass or PTFE lining inspected and spark-tested, with the record available.
  • Off-gas train: scrubber stages, caustic supply, HCl absorption and the monitoring that proves the stack is within consent.
  • Effluent: chloride and organic load into the ETP or CETP, and the plant’s consent limits for it.
  • Experience with your chlorination type — aromatic ring, side-chain, or photochlorination — and the temperature control it demands.

Where the capacity is

Chlorination capacity concentrates in Ankleshwar, Vapi and Dahej, where chlor-alkali supply is nearby and common effluent infrastructure exists, with some units in Tarapur and Nandesari.
