• Hongniu Lanzhou selects thyssenkrupp nucera’s proven e-BiTAC v7 technology for a large-scale chlor-alkali project in Northwest China

Dortmund, September 29, 2026 – thyssenkrupp nucera has secured another chlor-alkali technology order in the low double-digit million-euro range in China, further strengthening its market position and expanding its installed base in Northwest China, a key hub for large-scale chlor-alkali production. Hongniu Lanzhou Environmental Protection Technology has selected the world-leading provider of chlor-alkali technology to deliver licensing, engineering, procurement services, supply of key equipment, and support commissioning activities for a new chlor-alkali project.

“This order underlines the continued confidence customers such as Hongniu Lanzhou place in thyssenkrupp nucera’s technology, execution capabilities, and chlor-alkali expertise. With our advanced e-BiTAC v7 technology, we are providing a reliable, energy-efficient, and future-ready solution for large-scale chlor-alkali production,” says Keisho Cho, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera China and Japan.

Hongniu Lanzhou selected thyssenkrupp nucera for its proven technology, extensive operating references, strong project execution capabilities, and comprehensive lifecycle support. For the project, the customer will use thyssenkrupp nucera’s latest-generation e-BiTAC v7 technology for highly energy-efficient chlor-alkali electrolysis. The advanced BiTAC technology achieves power consumption of less than 1,960 kWh per ton of NaOH at 6 kA/m². Building on thyssenkrupp nucera’s long-standing BiTAC technology platform, e-BiTAC v7 helps customers enhance operational performance, reliability, and lifecycle value in demanding industrial environments.

“With this project, we are entering the chlor-alkali market. A strong partner is essential as we build up our chlor-alkali business. thyssenkrupp nucera’s combination of energy-efficient operation, proven reliability, and global chlor-alkali expertise offers a compelling value proposition for large-scale chlor-alkali-projects”, says Wang Zhaomin, General Manager of Hongniu Group.

Hongniu Lanzhou, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jiangsu Hongniu, serves the Group’s strategic project platform in Northwest China. Its activities include industrial waste salt recycling and utilization, chemical product manufacturing and sales, environmental technology research, and development, as well as technical consulting and engineering services.

The new order marks the first contract awarded to thyssenkrupp nucera by Hongniu Lanzhou and may lay the foundation for a long-term strategic collaboration. As Hongniu Lanzhou enters the chlor-alkali industry with this project, the choice of proven electrolysis technology and an experienced project partner is particularly significant.

The new order is in line with thyssenkrupp nucera’s strategy to enlarge its leading position in the local and global chlor-alkali business while expanding its installed base in key growth markets. China remains a major chlor-alkali market for the electrolysis specialist, driven by strong industrial demand, capacity expansion, modernization needs, increasing efficiency, and environmental requirements.
