120MW electrical power from turbines fed with fuel gas is also produced at the plant. A major part of this electricity is used to electrolyse salt to produce caustic, chlorine & hydrogen. Chlorine is reacted with ethylene (direct chlorination) to make Ethylene Di-Chloride (EDC). EDC is cracked down to Vinyl Chloride Monomer (the monomer to Poly Vinyl Chloride, PVC) and hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid reacts with ethylene and oxygen to produce more EDC (oxychlorination).
