HCl Synthesis: Improved overall performance with Micro Motion Zirconium Density Fork CHEMICAL RESULTS •Significant savings in natural gas consumption •Increased efficiency and burner control •Consistent yields, reduced manufacturing costs APPLICATION A global company supplies HCI synthesis units, which produce up to 37% HCl acid. They combine pure chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) with hydrogen (H 2 ). This is then combusted to produce hydrogen chloride Cl 2 + H 2 = 2HCl The resulting hydrogen chloride gas is absorbed in deionized water resulting in chemically pure hydrochloric acid. The total world production expressed as HCl, is estimated at 20M tonnes per year, with 3M tonnes per year from direct synthesis and the rest is a secondary product from either organic or similar sy
