About this title

Synopsis

Unlock practical guidance for running a sulfuric acid plant with real-world results.

This classic reference covers the practical science, equipment, and operating choices behind the contact process used to make sulfuric acid. It blends process theory with laboratory and field experience to help readers understand converters, towers, and control systems in industrial plants.

The book explores how gas streams are prepared and converted, the role of catalysts, and how temperature, moisture, and impurities affect performance. It also contrasts different process designs and explains how preheaters, gas cooling, and absorption sections fit into an efficient plant layout. Readers will find concrete descriptions of equipment, materials, and the practical decisions that influence yield, cost, and reliability.

How converters and preheaters operate and how designs differ between major processes.
How to manage temperature, moisture, and impurity levels for high conversion rates.
Methods for distributing and circulating acid in absorption towers and related equipment.
Practical notes on instrumentation, maintenance, and the economics of running a plant.

Ideal for engineers, plant operators, and designers seeking grounded, technique‑driven insight into sulfuric acid production.
