Abstract |
This report discusses installation and operation costs for a double contact sulfuric acid plant to be installed at the Phelps Dodge Corporation copper smelter in Douglas, Arizona. Equipment necessary for the operation of the acid plant is discussed, including: converter uptake and hood system, gas cooling system, ductwork, double contact acid plant (1323 ton per day at 4.5 percent SO2), modification of reverberatory furnace fugitive gas duct-work, acid neutralization facilities, and other equipment such as tracks, new wells, and water treatment facilities. Capital costs amount to $62.9 million and annual operating costs amount to $21 million before credit for any product acid. Installation is technically feasible and would not involve any innovative technology while significantly reducing sulfur dioxide emissions. |
