Case Studies
How ARMACO used its Phosphoric Acid expertise to help AZFC Egypt double its phosphoric acid output with no additional equipment.
AZFC Egypt bought an operating Phosphoric Acid plant whose performance was well below optimal product throughput. AZFC were keen to ensure the plant matched best-in-class global performance with the existing machinery. AZFC commissioned ARMACO to help achieve this.
ARMACO's process analysis unveiled the concentration section of the plant was not working at requisite levels. Additionally, several dissolved solid impurities were found in the acid. Due to the excessive load, several graphite heat exchangers had also failed.
ARMACO created various implementable solutions that ensured sustainable improvements for the long term. Additionally, ARMACO suggested and implemented enhanced control systems, which minimized equipment breakdowns, sustained high-quality product, and optimized utility consumption.
- Doubled Capacity: Ensured capacity rose to 100% of global standards (from 50%), by allowing longer runs, with better throughputs
- Up gradation (with detailed engineering) for dilute acid and concentrator section in second stage
- Enhanced capacity utilization: The Single Super Phosphate plant suffered regular breakdowns, had several leakages, and created a large amount of effluent. ARMACO reviewed each unit, restored the equipment, and developed and tightened controls. ARMACO also reconfigured the belt and reactor den. Using mainly existing equipment, AZFC had a completely upgraded section of the plant
- New Products: ARMACO enabled triple super phosphate to be manufactured in-house using the concentrated acid
