Nuberg EPC, New Delhi, India, on Oct. 19 announced it was awarded the rights to two sulfuric acid construction projects on an EPC and LSTK basis. The first, a 182,500 mt/y plant in Gamasa City, Egypt, was scheduled for delivery in 22 months, while the second, a revamp project producing 18,250 mt/y of sulfuric acid and 14,600 mt/y of aluminum sulfate in Oromia, Ethiopia, was contracted to deliver in 15 months.
Both projects are slated to utilize the Double Contact Double Absorption (DCDA) production process, in which sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3) pass through absorption towers twice.
Nuberg has successfully completed “more than seven” sulfuric acid plants, according to the company’s website, delivering projects in Saudi Arabia, India, Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh, and Oman. The newly-announced Gamasa City facility will be Nuberg’s fifth turnkey project in Egypt, the company said, a list that includes caustic soda, calcium chloride, and sulfuric acid plants.
“The whole industry faced challenging times (in the) last one year, yet we managed to deliver our commitments on time,” said Nuberg Managing Director A.K. Tyagi. “We will look forward to delivering ahead of schedule for an early start to our clients.”
