Rössing Mine's acid-production plant, supplied by BATEMAN in 1974 and upgraded in 1985.

Sulphuric Acid Plants

BATEMAN designs acid-production plants based on sulfur-burning as well as gas-cleaning systems

BATEMAN plants comply with international environmental regulations.

BATEMAN utilises state-of-the-art but well-proven technology in:

• the design and construction of new acid-production facilities;
• providing audit services to existing facilities with a view to improve plant throughput;
• retrofitting new equipment into existing facilities; and
• combining acid production with downstream value-adding facilities, e.g. ammonium-sulfate production.

BATEMAN's acid-plant track record goes back about 30 years.

An example is the design and construction of the 600 t/day acid-production plant at the Rössing Uranium mine in Namibia. This was the first contract (of many) on which BATEMAN was awarded an early completion bonus. BATEMAN returned to Rössing in 1985 to replace a heat exchanger and to fit an economising system to the SO2 (sulfur dioxide) converter to reduce the catalyst consumption and to increase the acid-plant throughput.

Additional assurance is provided by BATEMAN's extensive international experience in both greenfield and brownfield project execution in the process industry.
