News	December 8, 2006 - Sulfuric Acid Plant #4 was commissioned after reconstruction. Minister of Industrial Policy of Ukraine Golovko A.I., people’s deputy Lapin E.V. and management of OJSC Sumykhimprom were present at the ceremony. Replacement of catalyst unit was effected by OJSC Sumykhimprom together with SNPO Frunze (machine-building plant) and Ukrkhimproject (design institute). Plant modernization results in increase of capacity from 180 thousand tons Sulfuric Acid to 250 thousand tons (by 39%), and lifetime of the plant by 15 years. Besides, consumption rates of the main raw materials and energy resources will be decreased and energy saving technologies will be applied. Particularly, new technical decisions provide for operation of 5-layer catalyst case that will increase conversion rate to 98,5% and enable to make gases posttreatment on the sanitary plant. Commissioning of the Plant enables the company not only to operate using sulfuric acid of own production, but also to increase sales of improved oleum and technical sulfuric acid, to increase steam production and as a result – to decrease natural gas consumption. Commissioning of the new equipment will improve sufficiently ecological situation within the company itself, as well as within the region. Works have been started since the 4th quarter 2005 (design), equipment was produced and erected within 2006. Minister of Industrial Policy Golovko A.I. declared: “Policy that is realized by management of the company keeps step with policy of the country… The main thing is that development is under way, there are funds and decisions that help the company to grow.” People’s deputy Lapin E.V. underlined that this reconstruction was planned during 15 years and only last years financial situation enabled to effect it. “This is one of the first serious decisions that was taken and realized in the whole chemical industry of Ukraine”, - stated the people’s deputy. In parallel with finishing reconstruction of Sulfuric Acid Plant #4 the company is constructing sulfur storage with melting section. Storage capacity is provided to accept and store 20 thousand tons of lump sulfur, and melting sections are to process and supply sulfur to all three technological lines of Sulfuric Acid production taking into account increase of production volumes at this units. Commissioning of this object for many years will eliminate problem of sulfur acceptance, storage and processing. Estimated period of object commissioning – 20th January 2007. Total costs of OJSC Sumykhimprom for reconstruction of Sulfuric Acid Plant #4 and construction of the new sulfur storage with melting section will exceed USD 10 mln.
