Innovative Solutions for the Sulfuric Acid Industry
Compression Solutions
Production methodsIt is widely produced with different
methods. The contact process domi-nates the production methods –
other existing processes play a minor role.
Principal usesPrincipal uses include mineral pro-
cessing, fertilizer manufacturing, oil refining, wastewater processing,
and chemical synthesis.
Sulfur is the world’s most used chemical and versatile mineral used as an essential intermediate in many processes in the chemical and manufacturing industries. Thereby sulfur is the primary source to produce sulfuric acid. Today industrial production of sulfuric acid is an excellent indicator of a nation’s general economic prosperity. Future development Economic production of sulfuric acid increasingly requires greater plant capaci-ties. We are taking full account of this trend by continuously enhancing our product range.

Sulfur – the world’s most used chemical
Core competenceSiemens Pre-Designed Turbocompressors form an integral part in the production of sulfuric acid. As the world market leader Siemens sets the standards for sulfu-ric acid blowers with respect to efficiency, reliability and rugged design. With more than 100 years of experience in compressors and steam turbines Siemens offers the optimum train configuration for each of your projects.
Applications for Sulfuric Acid Plants (SAP) Chemicals SAP within Fertilizers and Caprolactam / Oleum production Sulfur-burning plant
Metallurgy SAP after METALLURGICAL SMELTER Acting as gas-cleaning plant for off-gases (desulfurization process) SAP within ACID LEACHING (e.g. NICKEL production) Sulfur-burning plant
Petrochemicals and Refinery SAP within PETROCHEMICAL or REFINING INDUSTRY Spent acid recovery
SolutionsTypical operation conditions in SAP such unbalance, corrosive attack and erosion place high demands on main blower de-sign. Siemens Pre-Designed Turbocom-pressors comply with highest standards to meet plant requirements.
