Edmeston SX® Absorption Towers Pump Tanks

When exposed to sulfuric acid, the material forms a very strong passive surface layer of silicon oxide that protects it against corrosion. Under the normal plant operating conditions, the steel has excellent corrosion resistance in both static and dynamic conditions (See isocorrosion diagram, Figure 1).Through its 30-year history, it has also proven capable of handling periods of upset conditions. Edmeston SX^® towers and pump tanks have a proven track record, each with approximately 50 successful reference installations around the world, with tower diameters ranging from 1 to 10 m. The first tower was installed in 1987 and still remains in operation.
