• Sulphuric Acid Plant

    At the beginning of the 20th century, HUGO PETERSEN set new standards for the production of sulfuric acid with the PETERSEN tower system process by replacing the outdated lead chamber process with new tower system processes. For more than 110 years now, HUGO PETERSEN has been building sulfuric acid plants to meet the highest requirements.  Over the decades, optimal concepts have been developed for our customers. Thanks to its knowledge of metallurgical and chemical processes, HUGO PETERSEN offers tailor-made solutions for its customers.

  • Gas cleaning for Sulphuric Acid and Metallurgy

    With its gas cleaning technologies developed in-house, HUGO PETERSEN has created optimized processes for a wide range of exhaust gases.  Product quality and environmental aspects have the highest priority.  These processes ensure optimal conditioning of the gases by means of Quench, Condensation, Gas conditioning & Aerosol separation using Wet Gas Cleaning, Dry Gas Cleaning & Aerosol Separation. In addition, the procedures include heavy metal separation and recovery, e.g., for arsenic, mercury, selenium etc.

  • Super OX Technology

    Highly efficient SO2 separation through the injection of H2O2.  As a post-cleaning stage with a drastic reduction and simultaneous recovery of sulfuric acid up to 60% by weight, SUPER OX is the only process that has proven this in large-scale application.
