Abstract
OxyTech Systems is a joint venture company formed between Occidental Chemical Company (formerly Hooker Chemical and Diamond Shamrock Chemical Companies) and ELTECH Systems to license, market and continue to improve upon the technology and rich heritage of the parent companies in the field of chlor-alkali electrolysis. Hooker Chemical introduced the first deposited asbestos diaphragms in 1929, and Diamond Shamrock introduced the Modified Diaphragm™ and Expandable Anode™ in the early 1970s. ELTECH Systems is a leader in the field of DSA® anodes. These technologies are used alone or together for over 70% of the world’s chlorine production.
