Lesi sitshalo siyisikhungo esikhulu kunazo zonke sokukhiqiza i-monochloroacetic acid (MCA) eNdiya esinomthamo wokukhiqiza waminyaka yonke ongamathani angu-32,000.
I-Anaven, inkampani ebambisene phakathi kwenkampani yamakhemikhali akhethekile i-Nouryon kanye nomkhiqizi wamakhemikhali ezolimo i-Atul, kuleli sonto imemezele ukuthi isanda kuqala ukukhiqizwa kwe-monochloroacetic acid (MCA) esitshalweni sayo esisha eGujarat, eNdiya. Njengoba inomthamo wokuqala wamathani angu-32,000 ngonyaka, lesi sitshalo esisha siyindawo enkulu kunazo zonke yokukhiqiza i-MCA eNdiya.

I-MCA ingasetshenziswa njengezinto zokusetshenziswa zemikhiqizo eminingi yokugcina ehlanganisa okunamathelayo, imithi kanye namakhemikhali okuvikela izitshalo.
UNouryon uthe lesi sitshalo yisona sodwa isitshalo se-MCA emhlabeni esingenawo uketshezi oluphumayo. Lesi sitshalo sisebenzisa nobuchwepheshe be-hydrogenation obungavikeli imvelo.
“Lokhu kubambisana kuzosivumela ukuthi sisebenzise ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe bukaNouryon esitshalweni esisha, ngenkathi sihlanganisa phambili nangemuva namakhemikhali ethu ezimpahla kanye namabhizinisi ezolimo,” kusho uSunil Lalbhai, usihlalo kanye nomqondisi ophethe we-Atul, esitatimendeni sabezindaba. “Isitshalo sase-Anaven sizoqinisekisa ukutholakala okuthembekile kwezinto zokusetshenziswa ezibalulekile emakethe yaseNdiya, okuvumela abalimi abaningi, odokotela kanye nemindeni ukuthi bathole ukufinyelela okungcono ezintweni ezibalulekile.”
