BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 24. A sulfuric acid production plant is expected to be put into operation in Azerbaijan, Chief Technologist of Azersulfate LLC Rashad Namazov told Trend.
He noted that the construction of the plant began in April 2021.
"The plant is scheduled to be put into operation in May 2022. It will mainly produce sulfuric acid. The production capacity will be 60 tons per day and about 20,000 tons per year," Namazov said.
According to the technologist, one-half of the products will be supplied to the local market, and the other half - for exported.
"It is expected that raw materials for the production of sulfuric acid will be imported at the first stage. After the modernization of Baku Oil Refinery named after Heydar Aliyev is completed, this enterprise will supply raw materials (petroleum coke) for the production of sulfuric acid," Namazov noted.
He also added that sulfuric acid is used in the production of mineral fertilizers, metallurgy and petrochemistry.
Azersulfat LLC was registered as a resident of Sumgait Chemical Industrial Park in July 2020.
