For maximum sulfur-conversion efficiency, the sulfuric acid plant must be a total concept incorporating waste-water treatment, dust, slag, heavy metals and scrubbing acid equipment.

Sulfuric Acid

Sulfuric acid plants designed by Outotec are tailor-made to meet customers' individual production needs and provide a good return on technological investment. Outotec's expertice in sulfuric acid plants is based on former Lurgi Metallurgie technologies.

Outotec offers high quality end-products, which meet the requirements of both the sulfuric acid producer and the end-user. Being a process-oriented engineering contractor we are able to offer vast and worldwide experience for any sulfuric acid plant project, including spare parts and shutdown maintenance services.

Outotec has been a major designer and supplier of sulfuric acid plants for more than 90 years, with an impressive track record of over 600 plants installed. The total capacity of these plants corresponds to over 30% of world production of 160 million mtpy.

Since the introduction of the double catalysis process in 1964, Outotec has supplied more than 180 double catalysis units with a total annual output of over 30 million tons of sulfuric acid monohydrate. These include plants with a capacity of up to 7,900 mtpd.
