3. Caustic potash (potassium hydroxide or KOH) is most
commonly manufactured by the electrolysis of a potassium
chloride (KCl) solution.
The co-products formed from the electrolytic production of
caustic potash are chlorine and hydrogen

8. The plant is divided into four
main areas: - THE CELLROOM
- BRINE RESATURATION -
KOH EVAPORATOR - KOH
STOCK TANKS AND LOADING
AT CLS In the cellroom there
are 30 FM21 electrolysis cells.
These cells consist of 60
anodes and 60 cathodes
arranged alternately with
membranes between them so
forming 120 compartments. If
the raw material is changed
from potassium chloride to
sodium chloride, this plant can
produce caustic soda.

10. • The global caustic potash market reached a volume of 2.6 Million
Tons in 2020. Caustic potash (KOH), also known as potassium
hydroxide, is an inorganic alkaline compound that is manufactured
through the electrolysis of potassium chloride solution. It is a potent
base, which is widely available in different forms including flakes,
pellets and powders.
• Global Caustic Potash (Potassium Hydroxide) Market to Reach 2.9
Million Tons by 2027
• The U.S. Market is Estimated at 643.1 Thousand Tons, While China is
Forecast to Grow at 4.9% CAGR
• Among the other noteworthy geographic markets are Japan and
Canada, each forecast to grow at 0.7% and 1.9% respectively over the
2020-2027 period. Within Europe, Germany is forecast to grow at
