    The document describes the design of a plant to produce sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, and chlorine from 1 tonne per day of sodium chloride using the mercury cell method. The major units in the plant include a reactor unit for the electrochemical reaction, separation and drying units to isolate the products, and a recovery unit. Equipment is designed such as a brine saturator, brine precipitator, clarifiers, filters, mercury cells, and decomposers of specified diameters and heights. Safety controls, environmental impact assessment, and economic analysis including capital costs, profits, and payback period are also covered.

    ABSTRACT
    The aim of this project is to design a plant that will produce sodium hydroxide,
    hydrogn and chlorine using one tonne per day sodium chloride by MERCURY CELL
    METHOD. The detailed design work was done with the aid of computer aided design
    (CAD) software's like HYSYS and MATHCAD. The major units in the plant are:
    Reactor unit, Separation ~d Drying unit, and the Recovery unit. The design of
    equipment undertaken are Brine saturator, Brine precipitator, Clarifiers, Filters, Mercury
    Cells, Decomposers having a diameters ofO.024m, 0.019m, 0.02m, 0.03 1m, 0.020m, and
    a height of 0.017in. Safety~ControI, environmental impact assessment, plant location and
    site layout were also carried out. Standard Cost estimation was carried out using detaiied
    factorial method and this gives the total capital investment cost to be 6.824 x IOIi naira
    needed to generate a net profit of 9.954 x 10 10 naira per year within a pay back period of
    approximately 6.856 years for a plant life of 15yeats. The rate ofretum is 15.914%.
