DCM Shriram Ltd Commissions Greener ECH Plant Using Glycerine as Raw Material
AI Summary
DCM Shriram Ltd has commissioned its Epichlorohydrin (ECH) plant of 35,000 TPA at its Chemical complex in Jnagadia, Bharuch Dist., Gujarat on 14th October 2025. The plant, which uses glycerine (a by-product of the Bio-diesel production process) as its raw material, is greener and benefits from cutting edge European technology. The balance capacity of 17,000 TPA will be commissioned shortly. ECH serves as a crucial link between the existing Chlor-alkali business vertical and the vertical of ‘advanced materials’, as it is a chlorine-downstream product and a key raw material for producing ‘liquid epoxy resins’.
