about trasport it may be (perhaps i mistake?)the same situation for sulphur...that costs here about 50 dollar/ton and are going down making it not a commodity but almost a true cost.
So the interest on this matter.
It would be interesting to know the name of some refinery (but also some oil or coal consuming power plant) that make or made this. So to ask about for example job security concern, or about special apparatous involved....and so on.....the challenge could be to overpass sulphur slump that will be.....no that is already a big problem.
Sorry if i say something wrong....i'm not so expert in the field

There is one plant in Saarbrucken (coal/coke) that manufacture sulphuric acid out of their acid gas and have been doing that for a while. If you want more info I suggest you contact the licensor (Haldor Topsoe/Denmark) that provides the technology for this type of unit (WSA).You can find Haldor Topsoe on the web.
