For many industrial processes, the safe and accurate dilution of sulfuric acid is not just a convenience, but a critical requirement. Fibro Grats Private Ltd.’s (FGPL, Indor, India) fully automated acid dilution system offers a robust and reliable solution designed to meet needs of reducing concentrated 98% sulfuric acid to lower, safer concentrations for operational needs.

FGPL says its system provides high control and safety in handling this highly corrosive substance. It is engineered to precisely dilute concentrated acid solutions and then, just as accurately, transfer them into various containers such as carriages, tank trucks and storage vessels. This level of precision minimizes waste and ensures that the diluted acid is immediately available for its intended use, streamlining production processes.

What sets FGPL’s system apart is its versatility. Beyond simply diluting with water, the system boasts the capability to mix a strong acid solution with a weaker one to achieve an intermediate concentration.

The core of FGPL’s approach lies in its material science and process control. The system leverages composites like PPH-FRP vessels, renowned for their resistance to acids, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the dilution process. Safety is paramount, and the system incorporates a sophisticated PLC program that meticulously monitors and controls the temperature throughout the dilution. This proactive temperature management is crucial, as the dilution of sulfuric acid is a highly exothermic reaction, meaning it generates significant heat. By maintaining temperatures at safe levels, the PLC prevents dangerous thermal runaway and ensures stable, predictable operation.

FGPL’s automated acid dilution system not only enhance safety and compliance but also achieve greater efficiency and precision in acid handling processes.
