Fluor Daniel Becomes ICI Chlor Contractor

Fluor Daniel, the engineering, construction and procurement subsidiary of Fluor Corp., said Thursday that it has agreed to become an approved contractor for certain technologies of a British chemicals company.

Terms of the deal with ICI Chlor Chemicals were not disclosed.

The Aliso Viejo company said it will have a license to build large-scale chlor-alkali plants for the production of caustic soda and chlorine that uses a new ICI technology known as BiChlor.

Caustic soda is a basic component used in the manufacture of consumer products such as soaps, detergents, paper and aluminum. Industrial applications include oil and gas production, food processing and the manufacture of cotton and Rayon.
