Small Scale Sulfuric Acid Production

Modular Sulfuric Acid Plants for flexible, on-site deployment

Due to the large size of the vessels and the requirement for acid-resistant bricks and refractory materials, sulphuric acid units are usually constructed on-site. This can be particularly challenging in remote or difficult locations, such as mining operations, with increased construction time and costs.

Furthermore, when a mine is fully depleted, its captive sulphuric acid unit is still likely to be fully functional. t relocating it can be expensive and nearly impossible with standard units.

Ballestra developed a small-scale sulfuric acid unit concept to address these issues.

The main features of the small-scale sulfuric acid design are:

Double conversion Double absorption or Single Conversion Single Absorption alternatives
Very low SO2 emissions (compliant with the most stringent environmental regulations)
Complete with power generation, fully independent from electric power lines
All equipment easy to be transported by road and/or skid-mounted
Reduced number of items
Easy to be assembled and disassembled
Mission critical, reduced maintenance
