The sulphuric acid plant and district heating

In the early 1980s, the heat generated in the absorption and drying circuits at the Kemira sulphuric acid plant in Helsingborg, Sweden was lost into the sea next to the plant. Now, following a total reconstruction of the cooling system to include plate heat exchangers in a closed loop cooling circuit, the temperature of the cooling water has been raised to a level at which it can be used for district heating.
