CASE STUDY #7
Initial situation
This petrochemical plant in Argentina, needs sulfuric acid for its process. They were using mechanically sealed pumps and they were suffering of pollution due to mechanical seal “sweat” . This meant personal danger as well as plant damages. They had to to put an extra tray below the pumps to recover the sulfuric salts.
