Arkema (Colombes, France; www.arkema.com) has inaugurated a new electrolysis unit at its Jarrie plant near Grenoble, France. This €100 million investment has enabled the facility to adapt to the latest regulations on industrial risks and to convert its mercury electrolysis to membrane technology, thereby pre-empting the mandatory deadline, which calls for the phaseout of mercury cell electrolysis by 2019, by several years.
