Tainan Travel

Bromine is an important chemical widely used in fire retardants, extinguishing agents, refrigerants, medicine, pesticide, and chemical fertilizers. As a wartime supply during Japanese colonization, bromine was extracted from high-salinity seawater from the salt pan or refined from brine, bromine plants were built near salt plants. Nippon Soda, Nippon Salt, and Taiwan Development companies invested in the Anping Plant with branches in Beimen through joint-venturing in Anpign, Tainan City, in 1939. The Beimen Bromine Refinery was one of them.
