Some of participants’ comments about the project:

“As a company that owns processes based on ammonium chloride, we are interested in the volume and cost of this by-products, based also on production forecasts with the various scale-up steps planned. The purity and type of impurities present are very important for the commercialization of NH4CL”.
Edoardo Guerrini – Engitec

“Congratulations on having succeeded in collaborating with the European Community and achieving the objectives set.”
Giusita Bernazzani – Engitec

“I think this Life project is very useful and interesting precisely from an ethical and sustainability point of view, given the need to eliminate in an increasingly predominant way all substances harmful to humans and the environment. I hope for a concrete development”
Patrizia Rosati – Lanartex

“This is a very interesting installation. The complexity of the plant has been developed by bringing know-how and R&D. Iit is evidently the fruitful result between research and industrial development”.
Girolamo D’Agostino – Moresens

“Very interesting project from the point of view of design and construction, as it is a new plant. During the explanation of the project it was perceived the great teamwork done during the 48 months”.
William Balzi – DOCCHEM
