Boliden Harjavalta sulphuric acid plant project, Finland
Name and Location
Boliden Harjavalta sulphuric acid plant project, Finland.
Client
Boliden.
Project Description
The project entails the design and delivery of proprietary equipment for a sulphuric acid plant to be built in relation to Boliden’s Harjavalta nickel and copper smelter.
The Boliden Harjavalta plant is one of the largest nickel/copper smelters in Europe.
The new gas-cleaning and sulphuric acid plant will process off-gas from the smelters into high-grade industrial sulphuric acid.
To recover as much energy as possible, the heat recovery system uses the surplus heat of the sulphur dioxide converter and turns it into high-pressure steam. The surplus heat from the drying and absorption section of the acid plant is converted into hot water and then supplied to the adjacent power plant for further use.
Value
Not stated.
Duration
The first phase of the sulphuric acid plant is expected to be operational between May and June 2018.
