The Project Scope included site de-bottlenecking, plant reconfiguration and expansion. NORAM's scope of services included design of process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and controls systems; procurement and expediting; site construction, commissioning and start up assistance.

Plant production increased to:

32% Caustic Solution	147 mtpd
Chlorine Gas	130 mtpd
32% HCl	65 mtpd
135 gpl Sodium Hypochlorite	11 mtpd

Hypochlorite System Replacement Before: Single stage caustic scrubber Limited capacity After: Two stage caustic scrubber Rated for full cellroom production

Chlorine Compression System Replacement Before: Multi-stage centrifugal compressor Pre-cooling High maintenance After: Liquid Ring compressor Simple operation / Low maintenance

Expansion of HCl System Before: HCl synthesis and tail gas scrubbing Operation with dry Cl2 only After: New HCl synthesis and tail gas scrubbing Operation with wet or dry Cl2

Rectifier Relocation and Addition Before: Two Chlorate cell lines One rectifier for each line 13.8 kV feed from Pulp Mill After: Two Chlorate cell lines One new rectifier on one line Two paralleled rectifiers on second line New 138 kV substation New harmonic filter bank
