Solvay To Invest In Bulgarian Plant

Solvay will bolster the competitiveness of its soda ash factory in Devnya, Bulgaria, by improving its energy efficiency. The measure is part of the competitiveness breakthrough plan that Solvay's Global Business Unit Soda Ash & Derivatives launched in 2013, and which is on track to deliver its 100M/Euros cost improvement target by the end of 2015. The Devnya plant, Solvay's biggest synthetic soda ash production plant in Europe, will be equipped with a new high-tech steam boiler, whose energy efficiency will reduce CO2 emissions and bolster the site's environmental performance.
