On-Line Acid Dilution Plants

On-Line Acid Dilution Plants

Sulphuric acid solutions of different concentrations ( gravities ) are used in battery making operations like pasting and plate formation. Different concentrations are also used for filling in batteries, depending on the type of batteries.

All the above gravities are prepared by diluting 98% sulphuric acid with De-mineralised water. Dilution of 98% sulphuric acid is highly exothermic reaction and large quantity of heat is liberated during the dilution process. Further 98% sulphuric acid as well as its dilute solutions are hazardous and highly corrosive.

Thus, acid dilution is a tedious and hazardous process and the operators are continuously exposed to acid fumes.

HYDROCHEM have developed Automatic on line acid dilution plants, which offer the following benefits over conventional process.

• Fully automatic operation. PLC controlled.
• Acid dilution carried out in closed system. No acid fumes.
• Various acid grades can be prepared from one system.
• User friendly. Easy to operate.
• Turn Key installations undertaken.
• High level of accuracy in quality of product acid.
• Safe for operators.
