BASF

Since 1913 BASF runs the lowest SO2-emission sulfuric acid production plants worldwide.

We design our catalysts for maximum outcomes. That starts with the unrivaled SO2-emission performance they can deliver because of their large surface area. To our customers, that means effortless regulatory compliance, no additional emission reduction costs, higher conversion, and bigger profits. These results last. Because of their exceptional physical stability, our catalysts offer a longer lifetime, deliver energy savings, and minimize downtime risks.

At BASF, all of that comes with total service dedication, reliable customer support backed by the inventor of the sulfuric acid catalysts, and decades of experience.

Weir Minerals

The Weir Minerals range of Lewis® pumps and valves are made with Lewmet® alloys to provide superior erosion resistance and corrosion protection. Lewmet® nickel-chrome alloy is engineered to withstand long-term exposure in the harsh operating environment of contact process sulphuric acid plants.

Operators use Lewis® acid valves with Lewmet® alloy to achieve reliable control, even in severe service applications like acid heat exchanger/cooler bypass duty at the pump discharge.  The Lewis® sulphuric acid pumps’ vertical design eliminates shaft sealing issues thereby avoiding the safety and environmental problems regularly associated with horizontal pumps in the same application.  

We provide innovative solutions to sulphur and sulphuric acid customers around the world.
