Over the past 13 years, SEEC and thyssenkrupp nucera, a supplier of world-leading technologies for high-efficiency electrolysis plants, have collaborated on four project phases with a total capacity of 1,020 kilo metric tons of caustic soda per year. SEEC has consistently placed its trust in thyssenkrupp nucera’s innovative BiTAC series electrolyzers, from n-BiTAC and nx-BiTAC plus to two phases of e-BiTAC v7. Establishing a hub for ongoing technological improvement, both companies have agreed that SEEC will henceforth serve as the “Strategic Cooperative Demonstration Base” for thyssenkrupp nucera’s BiTAC series electrolyzers.

“Our long-standing collaboration with SEEC is characterized by a high level of mutual appreciation. Reaching the next project phase and having the plant in Fujian designated as a 'strategic cooperative demonstration base' underscores the importance of our collaboration and the significant role this plant plays in showcasing and advancing our technology,” says Keisho Cho, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera China.

“With its proven electrolyzer performance, low power consumption, simple and stable operation, and cost-effective structure, thyssenkrupp nucera meets our needs for large-scale and full-load operation of our plant. This solid foundation paves the way for a long-term collaboration”, said by SEEC. In 2023, SEEC awarded thyssenkrupp nucera as “Excellent Supplier”.
