Overview

Sulfuric acid is a critical component in many mining and metallurgical operations, particularly in copper processing. Our acid production engineering services cover the complete spectrum from conceptual design through commissioning and optimization. We specialize in both contact process and wet sulfuric acid (WSA) technologies.

Our team has extensive experience in designing acid plants ranging from 500 to 5,000 tonnes per day capacity. We work with leading technology providers and equipment manufacturers to deliver reliable, efficient, and environmentally compliant acid production systems.
