The plant for production of soda ash in Devnia “Solvay Sodi”, part of the Belgian group “Solvay” will invest 55 million levs in a new distillation column. This will reduce the steam consumption and thereby will have greater ecological impact and will reduce the company’s costs.
The investment has been approved a few weeks ago and is expected to to be comleted until 2015. This was announced during the presentation on the occasion of Solvay’s 150th anniversary. The project is part of the measures taken by the Belgian group for savings and optimization of their production in Europe in a time of slowdown of major markets and expectation of a new player in the sector in the next years.
