    CAUSTIC SODA PRODUCTION TO BE SET UP IN ARMENIA


    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 4. ARMINFO. A number of foreign companies are showing
    interest in a 30mln. USD project of setting up the production of pure
    solid caustic soda in Armenia initiated by the "Nairit-2" CJSC, Karen
    Karapetyan, Head of the Information Department, Armenian Development
    Agency (AAA), told ARMINFO.

    According to him, the project was submitted to the Eurasian Economic
    Union (EAEU) in Moscow on September 20. US companies showed the
    greatest interest in the project. Karapetyan pointed out that
    investments are to be directed to the purchase of up-to-date
    equipment. Production is expected to be organized at the "Nairit 2"
    CJSC. The project envisages the production of 50 to 100 thousand tons
    of caustic soda a year. Karapetyan reported that the principal raw
    material in the production of caustic soda is table salt. Salt
    solution is leached from under the ground, and the formed cavities are
    expected to be used for storing fuel and oil products. The storage
    will allow oil-processing enterprises to be established in
    Armenia. Karapetyan said that the Rustavi-based "Azot" plant is a
    large consumer of caustic soda in the region.
