Projects Contacts

Sulphuric Acid Plant

SNC-Lavalin was chosen on February 7, 1995 after an international call for tenders to carry out EPC services for a 2,130 toone/day double absorption metallurgical gas acid plant on a turnkey basis. The key element in winning the project was a commitment to a very tight schedule. Mexicana required that the plant be ready for operation by October 5, 1996, only 19 months from the order date to startup. Our commitment was reinforced by Mexicana's experience with their first acid plant. The second largest plant in Latin America for acid production was successfully started up on time. After the performance test work was completed within the first month, the owner accepted the plant and is now operating it over the expected capacity. Client: Mexicana de Cobre S.A.
