Optimizing phosphoric acid production processes

Converting raw phosphate ore into phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate dehydrate (gypsum) requires smart handling highly corrosive phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and, during the cooling, aging and evaporation stages, gypsum.

Alfa Laval’s broad range of gasketed plate and spiral heat exchangers increase thermal efficiency while our high-speed separation systems effectively remove impurities, such as gypsum, from process streams.
