Caloric’s hydrogen boosts polysilicon production

19.09.2011

The hydrogen demand for a new polysilicon facility being built in Taiwan will be covered with Caloric units. With this contract Caloric establishes itself as a competent and reliable partner for this growing industry after having delivered two other plants within short time.

The polysilicon production will be supplied by two independent Caloric's HC steam reforming units using natural gas as feedstock. Each unit produces 2.500 Nm³/h hydrogen with purity of 99,9999%.  This arrangement enhances the general availability of the production complex.

Caloric will provide engineering and equipment, corresponding distributed control system (DCS) as well as technical assistance services during   the erection, commissioning and start-up, scheduled for third  quarter of 2012.

Both Caloric’s units will be completely pre-assembled and tested passing through our exigent quality procedure prior to shipping to the customer. The pre-assembling will ensure  significant scheduling and quality benefits for the client.
