Material Handling Equipment for Sale

Older chemical processing plants often have a lot more to give. They may be decommissioned for a variety of reasons, and relocating the equipment to overcome those circumstances could prove economical for companies looking to save money. Moving chemical and processing plants across regions, or even oceans can provide several major benefits including: - Proximity to greater demand - Access to cheaper workforces or raw materials - Expanded operations - Escape from stringent industrial regulations - Money savings compared to purchasing new equipment - Time savings on engineering, specifications, production design, and documentation While the cost of purchasing an existing plant, dismantling and refurbishing the equipment, shipping it to a new location, and reassembling can seem like an impossible task, in many cases it can be significantly lower than purchasing new components and building a brand new plant. Once the decision to relocate has been made, extensive, detailed planning

Modern nitric acid plants are designed mostly according to three nitric acid processes: mono medium pressure, mono high pressure and dual pressure. Medium pressure at about 4 – 6 bar will be preferred where a high ammonia efficiency is decisive for the plant economics. High pressure of more than 8 – 12 bar is an advantage with regard to the absorption performance. The dual pressure process offers both of these advantages as this process combine a medium pressure combustion with the use of an absorption at higher pressure. Nitric acid plants are an important source of nitrous oxide (N2O). The concentration of N2O in the tail gas of nitric acid plants ranges between 800 – 2,000 ppm. Some countries have already limited the emissions of N2O to the atmosphere while many other countries will introduce restrictions in the future. Thus, emission reduction at nitric acid plants is also exercising the minds of suppliers of technology to nitric acid plants. Mono Medium
