Chloride Egypt

Chloride Egypt manufactures several types and models of batteries. The company has production facilities for the whole production cycle: Lead oxide paste production, plate charging, acid filling and assembling. Chloride Egypt employs 450 employees working three shifts, five days/week.

Environmental compliance Implemented Options

• Acid vapours extraction and collecting system in the tank formation area to improve working environment and reduce the sulphuric acid consumption (as the vaporised acid is collected).
• Automatic sulphuric acid dosing system in the SSP production lines to prevent spillages as seen in old manual system.
• Grid casting machine with closed melting pots. New casting machine works with LPG that is more economical than electricity.
• Installation of dust collecting system in the cutting and enveloping area. Lead dust is removed from the working environment and regenerated for production.
• Installation of wasted water treatment plant (WWTP) to meet required parameters for COD, TDS and heavy metals. Treated water can be reused for cleaning purposes
