Revamping with Advanced Process Technology and Equipment

The operation of many dihydrate process plants built during the past three decades is below the optimum and as such sometimes decisions must be taken as to whether these units should be brought up-to-date by revamping the process or the equipment involved or to shut these units down and buy Merchant Grade Acid from the market. A number of case studies are described showing where the implementation of state of the art technology and equipment has enabled the performance of existing units to be improved giving a new lease of life to an old investment.
