One of the procurement best practices for buyers is to procure chemicals from suppliers that facilitate the shipment of chlorine in gaseous form. Additionally, they should procure from suppliers that facilitate the shipment of chlorine in gaseous form, as dry chlorine is not corrosive whereas wet chlorine can react with moisture in the air and is corrosive. Also, it reduces the volume that needs to be transported due to the removal of water content in it. Furthermore, the procurement of chlorine in gaseous form helps buyers in reducing the chance of spills, which, in turn, leads to savings in transportation costs.
