Precipitators
Acid-Mist precipitators are essential for superior performance in today’s sulfuric acid production facilities. Precipitators remove acid mists, metals, particulate, and dusts that are present in process gas streams. These cleaning systems vary in design, size, and production capabilities. El Dorado has experience fabricating and installing the following designs: Joy, Western, Lurgi, Belco, Hugo Peterson, Cottrell, etc...

Quench Systems
Quench towers, Scrubbers, and Humidifying Towers primary functions are to saturate the incoming gas, clean the gas, and offer a residence for the condensation of metallic vapors to facilitate their subsequent removal in downstream equipment.

El Dorado offers three design choices for the lead lining.

• El Dorado Sheet Lead lining – traditional sheet lead lining with a proven history of long life.
• El Dorado Panel Bond System – This insures that each sheet lead panel is isolated from the others, allowing for ease of maintenance in life of lining. The most popular lining available.
• El Dorado Homogeneously Bonded Liner – the premier lead lining for all gas cleaning equipment including lead bonding of the duct system.

Star Coolers
Star Coolers are found in metallurgical acid plants designed by Lurgi Engineering, and are used for gas cleaning and cooling. Star Coolers derive their name from the Lead Pipe that compromises the tube bundles. The fins on the tubes are essential for performance, their names deriving from the star configurations on the tubes. El Dorado has successfully repaired, and fabricated new Star Coolers in accordance with original design specifications.
