Süd-Chemie discusses the importance of pressure drop in a sulphuric acid plant and the many benefits that can be gained from using a guard bed, typically in the first bed of the converter to safeguard the catalyst bed and increase campaign life.
Sulphur concrete sleepers: durable and reliable
Thiomaterials reports on the key features and successful performance of Thiotrack sulphur concrete sleepers, offering high fatigue endurance with a truly reversible circular binder.
Neutralisation of heat stable salts – Part 2
Bryan Research & Engineering (BR&E) and INEOS GAS/SPEC continue their review of neutralisation of heat stable salts. Part 2 focuses on how caustic (NaOH) affects amine chemistry and corrosion and the effects of adding too much NaOH.
Defined, designed, delivered, diagnosed
Begg Cousland Envirotec reviews different mist eliminator types and some of the operational problems encountered which can be managed by correct installation, targeted cleaning or replacement, and selecting appropriate corrosion-resistant materials.
Catalyst unlocks new performance opportunities
In this real world case study, Topsoe demonstrates how cost effective catalyst changes can result in significant production increase without any equipment changes or revamps, all while maintaining compliance with emission limits.
Zero emission sulphuric acid production
Recalibrate™ has developed a next generation sulphur burning plant to produce sulphuric acid with ultra-low sulphur dioxide and zero NOx emissions, designed to derisk the permitting process and increase speed to market for new sulphuric acid plants.
Predicting the unpredictable
The start of the new year has shown that 2026 is already proving to be a very eventful one, beginning with the US abduction of Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro, which has prompted questions over production at the country’s ailing nitrogen assets, as well as the potential for a future boost to gas supplies to Trinidad.
