Sulfuric Acid Recovery - Sizing

Sizing

This chart provides a rough estimate of the system sizes. Many different variables affect sizing, such as: stripping in the pickle tanks, bath additives, and temperatures.

Sulfuric acid recovery system sizing

 

Models available (by capacity)

Note:  The "EX" models indicate expandable capacity. For example, a Model 10EX processes as much spent acid as a Model 10, but because it has a two-cell reactor, it is expandable to a Model 20 if production increases.

One-cell reactor    
  Model 1 Model 3 Model 5 Model 10
gallons/day 1,000 2,000 4,000 7,000
liters/day 3,500 7,500 15,000 25,000
         
Two-cell reactor    
  Model 10EX Model 20  Model 30  
gallons/day 7,000 10,000  13,000  
liters/day 25,000 37,500  50,000  
         
Three-cell reactor    
  Model 30EX Model 40  Model 60  
gallons/day 13,000 20,000  26,500  
liters/day 50,000 75,000  100,000  
         
Four-cell reactor    
  Model 80
