ANDRITZ to supply two new mixed acid recovery systems (Pyromars) to Walsin Lihwa

2021/10/15

International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Walsin Lihwa, Taiwan, to supply two Pyromars plants with capacities of 4,500 l/h and 6,500 l/h for their wire rod production sites in Yantai, China, and Yenshui, Taiwan.

Start-up of the plants is scheduled for the first quarter of 2023.

The ANDRITZ scope of supply includes the mechanical and electrical equipment as well as supervision of erection work and commissioning.

The ANDRITZ mixed acid recovery systems will significantly reduce the nitrates in the wastewater and enable nitric and hydrofluoric acids to be recovered, thus saving consumption of fresh acid in Walsin Lihwa’s wire rod pickling plants. In addition, this investment in sustainable operation will strongly reduce the amounts of wastewater and sludge produced.

Walsin Lihwa is a strong business partner of ANDRITZ and is already operating a Pyromars plant and two ZEMAP systems that ANDRITZ has supplied.
