2. Although the production of chlorine and bleach is a well-established industry, efficient point-of-use
generation of these chemicals now requires new exciting and innovative solutions. The Chlor-Alkali
manufacturers that will prevail in this environment in the coming years employ cutting edge
technologies and require access to working capital and business networks to accelerate growth.
The “on-site” brine-to-bleach chlorine electrolysis technology that we offer is quickly gaining a strong
presence in North America and Mexico. The explosion in demand in the municipal and “over-the-
fence” markets bodes well for the future.
Adex International, Inc., (Adex), has gone to great lengths to understand the available proprietary
processes and manufacturing know-how, which in combination with our innovative funding and
financing capabilities can offer interesting solutions to established Chlor-Alkali producers and/or
distributors such as yourselves.
Should this be of interest to you or if you require any additional information, please contact me.

3. CHLOR-ALKALI PROJECTS
3
Through our strategic alliances with
various key players in the Chlor-Alkali
industry, Adex can supply and finance a
complete turn-key Chlor-Alkali solution
with production capacities that range
between 5 and 60 MT/day of chlorine,
caustic soda, and other derivatives.
Adex offers innovative technologies for cost
effective, on-site generation of chlorine,
bleach and related chemical products.
4. CHLOR-ALKALI PROJECTS
4
Together with two different Chlor-Alkali engineering
companies, Adex was able to deliver a number of complete
turn-key C/A plants in North America and overseas.
Adex provided the engineering company
and the buyers/end users the required
project management, funding, financing,
procurement, logistics, after sales support
and warranty services for these turn-
key plants.
Adex mounted fully automatic modular
chemical plants producing Chlor-Alkali
derivatives (bleach, caustic soda, HCl,
chlorine, basic soda, etc.)
