eShuttle® EDC

Our first product with the eShuttle® platform is the production of ethylene dichloride (EDC) with sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. In the conventional production method, salt and water are electrochemically split through the chlor-alkali process to produce chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
The chlorine gas then reacts with ethylene gas in the direct chlorination process to produce ethylene dichloride.
Our technology uses the same feedstocks to produce the same products with our lower energy metal chloride reaction.
