Veolia to acquire Chemours’ sulfur unit

Veolia North America, Chicago, said June 14 that it plans to buy Chemours’ Sulfur Products division for $325 million. This division is a specialist in the recovery of sulfuric acid and gases of the refining process, which are regenerated into clean acid and steam used in a wide range of industrial activities. As a tuck-in to Veolia North America’s Industrial Business, the company said the division is an excellent complement to Veolia’s existing business, and will reinforce its existing recovery and regeneration capabilities and technologies.
