Sulphuric Acid
Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) is a strong, colourless, liquid mineral acid. It is an important industrial commodity, extensively used in oil refining, water treatment, uranium processing, inorganic acids production, metallurgical, fertilizer, pulp and paper industries.
Fluorsid consumes Sulphuric Acid for the production of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and manufactures it from molten sulphur by the “Double Contact Double Absorption” process. The reaction, which is highly exothermic, allows the co-production of steam and electric power.
The plant was designed and built with the best available technologies and has a production capacity of 170,000 MT/y. The installation of this plant has made Fluorsid self-sufficient in terms of its electric power needs.
The extra production of Sulphuric Acid is sold at a concentration between 98% and 99.5%, and is transported in bulk on tankers.
