We collaborate with the client in defining the critical data of their project:

  • Plant size
  • Products to be produced
  • More convenient location based on proximity to product consumption and availability of supplies.

We guide the client in terms of investment costs (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) that they will have with the new plant.

Once the corresponding contracts are signed:

We started a fast-track project process, where AVS and the client work simultaneously and in coordination, with the aim of having the plant producing in a period of 18 to 24 months, depending on its size. This process includes:

  • We deliver to the client the FIRST engineering PACKAGE, which will allow them to apply for environmental permits.
  • We started the construction of the modules in the AVS workshops in Uruguay.
  • We deliver the SECOND PACKAGE of engineering for the client to start civil and electrical engineering on-site.
  • We deliver the THIRD engineering PACKAGE for the client to apply for construction permits.
  • We deliver the FOURTH PACKAGE of engineering, at the same time that the client will be quoting and selecting the supply of the civil and electrical works.
  • The client solves the power supply.
  • The client begins the civil construction that will take approximately 6 months.
  • The modules built in Uruguay are shipped to the site and arrive with more than half of the civil works carried out.
  • The installation and interconnection of the modules and external equipment begins.
  • The electrical installation is completed, including a substation for power supply.

MODULAR PLANTS TO PRODUCE CHLOR-ALKALI AND ITS DERIVATIVES

In the case of plants with a capacity of 30 tons per day of Chlorine or less, AVS integrates its own bipolar electrolyzers “single-element” concept, BipEk.

Our BipEk Electrolysers were designed to be operated with simplicity and safety, without the need for expert personnel.

Our modular plants with BipEk Electrolyzers are the best solution for those customers who want to replace their current purchase of finished product, and have it on their own site, for example to produce:

  • Chlorine gas: to be applied directly in the water of water treatment plants, for the disinfection of the water.
  • High quality sodium hypochlorite and concentration up to 190g / l: to be used by manufacturers of bleach or for water purification.
  • Hydrochloric acid 32%: to be used by large industries in their production processes, and / or in the cleaning of their equipment.
  • Caustic Soda 32%: as long as hydrochloric acid is produced, the plant will have the best quality caustic soda available.

 

Plants installed with BipEk Electrolyzers, AVS design, have the following advantages:

  • In plants, the trafo-rectifier and all their consumptions are powered at low voltage. This makes them safer and reduces investment costs.
  • The cells of the BipEk electrolyzer are robust, have nickel cathodes and titanium anodes, both with activated mesh of the same material.
  • The design of the plants allows easy and economical continuous operation. Our plants operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and for more than 350 days a year.
  • The BipEk electrolyzer, of the single element type, allows the electrolytic cells to be removed individually, thus reducing the downtime of the electrolyzer.
  • The BipEk electrolyzer is provided with an individual VMS (Voltage Monitoring System) for each electrolyzer, which allows monitoring the energy consumption through the individual voltage of each electrolytic cell.
  • Usually more than one electrolyzer per plant is installed, which allows equipment redundancy that gives more production safety.
    In our plants there is no chlorine under pressure, which guarantees maximum safety for the environment and for the operating personnel.
  • In our plants, the hypochlorite production system is sized to absorb all the chlorine produced, in addition to the safety that this means, a high quality hypochlorite is obtained with a concentration of up to 190g / l.
  • Our plants are supplied with an effluent treatment system, designed to recover the greatest amount of fluids to the process and to be able to safely dispose of the minimum amount of effluent.
