Technology
Fluorsid’s fluoride plants have been designed, engineered and built with internal know-how and technology, achieving high performances in terms of energy efficiency, raw materials' consumption and products' quality. In 2008, a new double bed aluminium fluoride production line was successfully put into operation and, elsewhere, other projects based on the same technology are currently being evaluated.
The sulphuric acid plant, started up in 2002, based on the licence of Monsanto, has been designed according to the best available technologies with regards to efficiency, safety and environmental control. The plant uses molten sulphur from the local oil refinery to produce the acid and generate steam, which is passed through a 5MW turbine generator, making Fluorsid totally self-sufficient in terms of electric power requirements.
The laboratory’s analytical expertise range from traditional analysis, including ISO standard methods, to the most sophisticated techniques, such as X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Atomic Emission Spectroscopy, Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy, Ionic Chromatography, Potentiometric and Conductimetric measurements.
