Chlorination
Chlorination is a central chemical reaction for the products manufactured by CABB. This applies both to our single most important product, monochloroacetic acid (MCA) and to chlorination reagents and derivatives used as fine chemicals or in custom synthesis.CABB is reintegrated into our own chlorine production with state-of-the-art and energy-efficient membrane electrolysis. While the Gersthofen, Jining and Knapsack sites use chlorine almost exclusively for the production of monochloroacetic acid, the Pratteln and Kokkola sites manufacture various chlorination reagents for the production of a wide variety of fine chemicals.
For reasons of environmental protection and safety, we transport chlorination reagents in closed piping systems. Gaseous by-products from the chlorination process are recycled and returned to the integrated production system.
Your benefits:
- Reintegration into reagents and chlorinated intermediates
- Sustainable production processes
- Efficient chlorination processes in batch and continuous processes
- Environmentally friendly recycling of secondary flows
We perform chlorination reactions in both continuous and batch processes, from small scale to large commercial quantities. Our leading individual product, monochloroacetic acid, is manufactured using this chlorination technology.
Your benefits:
- Reintegration into reagents
- Sustainable production processes
- Efficient chlorination processes in batch and continuous processes
- Environmentally friendly recycling of secondary flows

Chlorination reactions with thionyl chloride produce HCl and SO2 as exhaust gases. CABB offers the possibility of customer-specific chlorination within the integrated system, in which the exhaust gases are separated, purified and reused as raw materials. This enables sustainable production, from pilot plants to large-volume commercial quantities in both batch and continuous processes.
One of our strengths is to design chlorinations as continuous processes from the outset or to convert batch processes into continuous processes. This increases yield and purity and reduces the proportion of unwanted by-products.

- Sustainable production processes
