Looking for recycler of waste nitric/sulfuric acid stream
(OP)
I'm looking for a company that may be interested in obtaining a constant supply, in the tens of thousands of gallons, of a 2% nitric/6% sulfuric acid wasterwater stream.
Any leads would be appreciated.

Maybe you could concentrate the acid and find a person who was interested.

Concentration of nitric / sulfuric acid mixtures requires exotic metallurgy or glass equipment and specialized know-how.
Did the designer of your flue-gas system have any suggestions for disposal of the wastes?
A few years back the market for recovered sulfuric acid was very poor due the large unumber of desulfurizing projects in the petroleum industry.
Even neutralization will leave you with a very weak solution that is not very usefull as a fertilizer. (Ca(NO3)2 / CaSO4).
Good luck

Anyway, the point is to start calling around and trying to network your way into some help.
Your success for recycling or neutralization probably depends on your location and if you have any neighboring facilities that would be interested.
There are some people like Rhodia in Baton Rouge who will take in "hazardous wastes" to their spent sulfuric acid recovery plant.
Their spent acid comes from alklyzation processes in the refinery industry.
Let us know how you make out.
