This section covers some general principles for production of calcium chloride and gives an overview of the production processes utilised by TETRA in Kokkola (Finland), Helsingborg (Sweden) and Frankfurt (Germany).

Calcium chloride is produced mainly by two different processes—the limestone-hydrochloric acid and the natural brine process. The selection of process is usually determined by the supply of raw materials and transportation and energy costs.
