Nuberg EPC awarded sulfuric acid project in Czech Republic

The contract was signed at Spolana head office based in Neratovice in the presence of Mr. Sandip Kumar (Senior Manager, Business Development), who represented Nuberg EPC in Czech Republic and the management team of Spolana, including Mr. Piotr Kearney (CEO), Mr. Miroslav Falta (Executive), Mr. Jaroslav Hacko (Director of Investment DPT.), Mr. Luboš Burdek (Project Execution Manager), Mr. Radek Brodil, (Project Business Manager), Mr. Pavel Malina (Head of Purchase Investment Dept.)

Sulfuric acid produced by the 550 tpd sulfuric acid plant project in Czech Republic will be used for petrochemical and fertilizer based applications. It will also be used in the mining and processing of some ores and minerals, manufacturing batteries, and etching surfaces. Sulfuric acid is also used in manufacturing of caprolactam, which is used in the production of nylon and perlon and subsequently in the textile and clothing industry.

Upon receiving the project, Mr. A. K. Tyagi, MD, Nuberg EPC, said: “This undertaking illustrates Nuberg’s competency of combining intelligence and knowledge in terms of engineering aspects. It is a pleasure that Spolana has chosen our EPC services for this project."

He further stated: "Nuberg EPC’s scope of services includes process design & technology, including product and technology development – in-house as well as with third party licensors, process know-how & licensing, basic engineering, front end engineering design (FEED), residual detailed engineering, procurement, construction management, operation & maintenance, detailed engineering, project management, commissioning, EPC solutions, heavy fabrication, and start-up of the plant."
