Mineral Acids
Efficient. Sustainable. Proven.
KBR’s mineral acids solutions address the treatment of acid, acidic streams, and waste air, focusing on concentration and purification, while minimizing energy consumption and eliminating waste. For decades, KBR has specialized in the concentration and purification of mineral acids.
Geopolitical Shift Driving Demand
Global demand for high-performance energetic materials is accelerating, driven by increasing defense investments and geopolitical shifts. Countries are prioritizing localized supply chains for explosives, missiles, and next-gen propellants to reduce reliance on imports. This shift fuels the need for high-purity mineral acids, essential in the production of advanced energetic materials.
KBR Offering for Energetic Materials
KBR has designed >160 plants for various mineral acid concentration and purification applications worldwide
KBR offers a proprietary process for adiabatic nitration of benzene to nitrobenzene and chlorobenzene to nitrochlorobenzene. Based on our extensive experience in reconcentration of spent sulfuric acid recovery with our SAC® technology, we offer an integrated unit with both nitration and spent acid processing.
The result is a very energy efficient overall process with excellent NB/NCB product quality and exceptionally reliable sulfuric acid recovery process.
