Khatoon Abad Acid Plant Project
Nonferrous Industries Process, Engineering & Construction Company (NIPEC) has planned to design, procure, construct, and commission a sulfuric acid plant to treat the off-gases from a copper smelter plant in Khatoon Abad, Iran. The plant will process approximately 230,000 Nm³/hr of smelter gas and will include areas for gas cleaning, gas contact/acid production, acid storage/loading, and effluent treatment. The SO₂ concentration in the incoming gas is sufficiently high to produce sulfuric acid with a concentration ranging from 93% to 98.5%, and a production capacity of approximately 2,950 t/d.
Primary Function
The primary function of the acid plant is to protect the local environment by removing contaminants from the smelter off-gases and converting the SO₂ into commercial-quality sulfuric acid. Tehran Raymand has been selected as the consultant for detailed engineering and procurement services for this project.
