Jacobs Awarded Contract by Aurubis Bulgaria AD

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.

announced today its Chemetics unit in Pickering, Ontario, Canada was awarded a design and fabrication contract by Aurubis Bulgaria AD for two proprietary designed sulfuric acid coolers to be installed in its acid plant in Pirdop, Bulgaria. The scope of work involves the design and fabrication of drying and interpass anodically protected sulfuric acid coolers. The interpass cooler is being custom designed to operate in current operating mode, as well as allowing for use in a future heat recovery project. Jacobs worked with Aurubis engineering staff to develop a solution that would allow optimal performance in both distinctly different operating modes. These technical discussions also led to improvements in the process design for the water flow to the existing acid coolers. Jacobs Group Vice President Andy Kremer stated, "We are delighted that Aurubis' Pirdop site continues to place their trust in us to provide superior technical solutions."
