Sulphuric acid is an important raw material for the chemical industry. The production of this aggressive acid is extremely challenging. With pure highly concentrated sulphuric acid with a concentration content of 96 – 99%, the medium does not only have an extremely corrosive effect, but also reaches very high temperatures of up to 240 °C during the processing.
Rheinhütte Pumpen is one of the few manufacturers worldwide that can supply pumps for the entire process of sulphuric acid production. The highly resistant special materials are suitable for all concentration ranges of sulphuric acid.
Sulphuric acid is made from pyrite, from other metal sulphides or from gases containing sulphur. Sulphuric acid is among the most important base materials in chemical process technology and is needed in great quantities worldwide by all industrial states.
In sulphuric acid production vertical and horizontal centrifugal pumps move liquid sulphur and also dilute and concentrated acids, which along with SO2 and SO3 can also contain solids, at different temperatures. Normal standardised materials will only withstand the enormous stresses due to corrosion and abrasion to a limited extent.
Rheinhütte Pumpen has available special alloys, which offer long term resistance to these effects. Good collaboration with well known plant constructers plus our own research allows us, to adapt the existing material range optimally and quickly to the constantly changing requirements.
Metrans Makina is the only authorized Rheinhütte distributor and service provider in Turkey.
