How to optimize agitatorsSulfuric acid is the key chemical used in the production process of wet phosphoric acid (WPA). Hence, the production of sulfuric acid close to the phosphoric acid plant (PAP) has many advantages. Not only does this reduce transport costs, but the nearby production of sulfuric acid, which is an exothermal process, allows the residual thermal energy to be used for the manufacture of concentrated phosphoric acid. Steam is generated to feed the heat exchanger located within the concentration unit of the phosphoric plant. Read the whole article.

Scaba heavy-duty agitators save energy in sulphur meltersPhosAgro is the biggest manufacturer of phosphate-based fertilizers in Europe. The largest site is the chemical cluster in Cherepovets, Russia, where the sulphuric acid is locally produced from elementary sulphur. Two new melters were built in an expansion project. It was essential to manage the heat transfer in the melters by agitators to ensure the capacity of the plant.
-
Optimizing the performance of sludge treatment and anaerobic digestion plantsLarge wastewater treatment facilities often incorporate an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant to handle sludge and deliver heat as well as electrical energy to support the operation of the site. Process performance depends on equipment reliability and getting the most out of the feedstock. Improved efficiency enables plants to increase throughput without expanding the site and this can be achieved by optimizing the sludge handling equipment.
