Project Description
The sulphur project initiatives form part of the fresh air national project.
The initiative to be rolled out at NMP relies on sulphur dioxide recovery to produce sulphuric acid and gypsum following its subsequent neutralisation with natural limestone.
As a result of the project, the sulphur dioxide capture is set for each at least 99% at the affected flash smelters.
The project includes the construction of a sulphuric acid storage facility, a limestone reception and crushing facility, a slaked lime production facility, and a sulphuric acid neutralisation facility.
In the sulphuric acid neutralisation facility, 24 units for slaked lime and sulphuric acid mixing will be installed to neutralise and transform sulphuric acid into harmless gypsum slurry.
Process pipe racks, lay pipelines and service lines will also be erected.
The scope of the contract includes the supply of equipment and materials, construction and installation, precommissioning, and comprehensive testing support.
