Our Proprietary
Equipment
Catalytic Converters
Constructed from all-welded stainless steel (Typically SS-
304H), which largely eliminates corrosion, while reducing
maintenance requirements and extending service life.
Robust mechanical designs eliminate thermal expansion
and reliability issues, provide excellent gas distribution, and
maximise SO2 conversion. Typical converter options
include:

Acid Towers
Acid tower designs are available for Drying, Interpass
Absorption, Final Absorption, Oleum, Quench, Stripping and
Scrubbing. Design options are:

Acid Distributors
SMART™ acid distributors: Allows for easy installation, and
cleaning from external ports without entering the tower.
Uniform acid distribution throughout tower cross section
area, low spray generation rate is also achieved.
Trough acid distributors: A robust design with all-metal
construction.
Acid Coolers
Anodically protected acid coolers: Use large diameter
cathodes, which minimize the voltage drop along the
cathode and give more uniform passivation.
NORAM SX™ alloy acid coolers: Often preferred for simpler
installation and virtually maintenance-free operation. SX™
coolers can deal with higher temperatures and can be used
for boiler-feed water preheating.
Alloy acid coolers for seawater service: Coolers are offered
in alloy materials without anodic protection for high-chloride
service
Furnaces
NORAM-Cellchem™ sulfur furnaces: Proven in over 180
reference installations. The burners utilize air-atomization,
with capacities typically ranging from 0.5 to 400 MTPD sulfur
burned (1.5 to 1,200 MTPD of H2SO4 equivalent), and
produce SO2 gas concentrations up to 19%. Turndown to 8 to
12.5% capacity is possible. Two configurations are offered:
CF (Cyclone-flame): For very small scale (0.5 to 16 MTPD
sulfur burned).
SF (Spiral-flame): For medium scale (5 to 400 MTPD sulfur
burned).
Pressure atomization sulfur furnaces: For larger plants
producing 100 MTPD to 3,000+ MTPD of H2SO4 equivalent
capacity.
Preheat furnaces: For plant preheating applications.
