Oil industry accident kills one

[Likkmee]

Desert flowers are over-rated. They appear a day a year....like Biden. Fuckem

 

[surada]

Because all the solars shit reflects/absorbz UV ?

The question to ask is about the safety record for this plant.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Get over yourself. It was built to provide polysilicon to the solar industry.

Are there byproducts, that they hope to sell, sure. But Wacker did build this to make polysilicon. If this plant can not sell polysilicon, it will be closed and produce nothing.

You have proven that all you can do is grasp at straws.

Blah, blah,.. Meanwhile, all you have proven is that you simply can't accept the sourced information I've shared here, debunking your wacky claims. Sorry, but making polysilicon does not mean the plant was specifically "built to provide polysilicon to the solar industry." It was clearly built to provide polysilicon for lots of purposes, all of the things they say it was built for, not you.

 

[Grumblenuts]

You try to assert that HCI is not used to produce polysilicon.

You lie like a rug.

 

[surada]

You lie like a rug.

Nah.. He's just stupid.

 

[elektra]

You lie like a rug.

What was your point than?

 

[Grumblenuts]

What was your point than?

Same as ever. Like polysilicon, HCl is not just used to make solar stuff.

You missed something when you linked. There are five plants on one site. The polysilicon came online in 2016.

There are 5 seperate plants built at separate times. In 2019 the plant that makes the products you listed was built.

The solar polysilicon was built in 2019.

I quoted the article I linked to, which states solar polysilicon. Your beef is with reporters, but they got it right.

You are simply, anyway you can, trying to prove this has nothing to do with solar when in fact all the reporting states it is a making polysilicon for the solar industry.

Same as ever. Like polysilicon, HCl is not just used to make solar stuff.

But, inside a polysilicon plant, hci is used to make polysilicon. This is a polysilicon plant. Not a hydrochloric acid manufacturing site.

Sourced but not complete.

From wacker's site

Tennessee, North America

WACKER POLYSILICON North America has been producing polysilicon for the photovoltaic industry in Charleston (Tennessee) since 2013.

No kidding. I read it the first time. They began producing polysilicon for the solar industry.. back in 2016. As already mentioned ad nauseum, and as they planned, now they produce polysilicon for lots of other things. Go fish.

In the medium term, we intend to grow into Charlestown into a fully integrated production site for the North American market.

Duh. Polysilicon, not solar panels.

 

[Colin norris]

Which statement? I have backed up everything I stated.

A polysilicon plant making

This is solar grade polysilicon manufacturing plant. A chemical plant reliant on the oil industry is where solar grade polysilicon is manufactured.

And because you dont know how polysilicon is made you disagree and demand I show you how, so you can determine if my story is correct?

Here is your answer
Si + 3HCl → SiHCl 3 + H 2↑

Before you deleted it you said deserts are being destroyed. You are a liar.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Even

Polycrystalline silicon, or multicrystalline silicon, also called polysilicon, poly-Si, or mc-Si, is a high purity, polycrystalline form of silicon, used as a raw material by the solar photovoltaic and electronics industry.

Yet, the solar polysilcon plant, had a small chemical leak that killed one man, injured four others. Nothing you have stated changes that fact. And that fact you certainly tried to obfuscate.

you are getting my OP's confused, if you look, you will see you are in the wrong thread

 

[elektra]

No, I refuted your assertions way back in the linked quote which you somehow must think was not referring to the same exact plant. Practically all manufacturing plants can still be described as "reliant on the oil industry" so that's not saying anything.

According to them, the plant produces "hyperpure polysilicon" / "Ultrapure amorphous silicon dioxide powder" / "pyrogenic silicon" which, of course, is used to make solar panels, but it's also

Only you refer to it as "solar grade" because you've apparently got solar vs oil on the brain. Not my problem.

I followed your link, that does in fact refer to a different plant, built after the time the polysilicon plant came on line. Three years after. That other plant, will make the products you attribute to the polysilicon plant.

From you link, clearly, showing a second plant, where the products are made that you wrongly stated are made in a polysilicon plant.

We completed construction of a new pyrogenic silica production plant, which went on stream in October 2019.

Ultrapure amorphous silicon dioxide powder is used as a filler in silicone elastomers and as a viscosity-adjusting agent, for example, in coatings, printing inks and adhesives. It also serves as a flow aid in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Bullshit. You just continue to ignore that your precious "solar" plant is located in the same place as the newer plant and that both produce silicon products for purposes other than solar panels. Now you've even stooped to accusing others of wacky stuff. Seriously, just accept that your OP is silly nonsense and go fish.

Ruh roh! Whaa hoppened to the "solar"?? Oopsies,.. looks like you've lost track of your narrative..

Sure, just keep conveniently ignoring the last bit:

Same link:

Clearly, from your narrow view, they only produced polysilicon for solar customers at that site from 2016 - 2019. Proof? None. And, being the hardened, anti-solar, kvetching crazy person you are, it matters not what other purposes people may have had for purchasing polysilicon since.

This chemical plant was built to supply polysilicon to the Solar Industry.
