Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Ltd (GACL) has roped in Israel-based Bateman Advanced Technologies Ltd to provide technology and technical services for its upcoming food grade phosphoric acid project at Dahej. 

“The company has signed agreement with Bateman Advanced Technologies Ltd, Israel, for procuring technology & licence, basic engineering, proprietary equipment and technical services for the establishment of 21,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) food grade phosphoric acid plant at Dahej,” said GACL in a press statement. Following this, Gujarat Alkalies is now in the process of appointing consultant for detailed engineering services for the project.

In May 2016, GACL announced that it plans to set up a food grade phosphoric acid project at Dahej with an estimated cost of Rs 300 crores. The plant is expected to be operated by the second quarter of financial year 2019-20.

Food-grade phosphoric acid is used as additive to acidify foods and beverages such as various colas and jams. This acid, which provides a tangy or sour taste, is also used as leavening agents.
