Chemical plant and terminal. It imports raw salt by ship, to manufacture caustic soda (lye) for the pulp and paper industry, chlorine for water treatment and for PVC plastic manufacturing, and hydrochloric acid for steel and chemical industries. These chemicals are shipped out by rail, tanker truck and barge.

The plant also provides brine (basically very salty water) and hydrogen to neighboring chemical plants. It also uses byproduct hydrogen as a fuel, which reduces the amount of natural gas (and therefore greenhouse gases) that is needed.
