In May 2023, KSB Group company SISTO Armaturen S.A. in Luxembourg signed a contract to supply diaphragm valves. They will deliver them for a new chlor-alkali electrolysis plant under construction in Fos-sur-mer, France.
Commissioned by Chemical group KEM ONE, the membrane electrolysis plant located 10 kilometres northwest of Marseille is being built by specialists from Chemieanlagenbau Chemnitz GmbH (CAC). This future production facility will set new standards in terms of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.
Robust design
The diaphragm valves of the SISTO-20 type series to be supplied feature a robust design and a long service life. These properties are achieved thanks to confined diaphragms with rear support.
Valves of this type series have proven their worth across the globe in numerous plants where chlor-alkali electrolysis applications involve particularly corrosive and aggressive fluids.
