QUICK ANSWER

Rajshree Group supplies Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Plants for paper mills and chemical industries. HCl is used in the acid washing of pulp, pH control in ETP, and various chemical processes within the mill.

Product Overview

Our plants produce food-grade or industrial-grade HCl through the synthesis process using H₂ and Cl₂ or as a by-product from chlor-alkali operations.

Key Features

  • H₂-Cl₂ synthesis burner unit
  • HCl absorption column with water scrubber
  • Tail gas scrubber system
  • Acid storage tanks with containment bund
  • Transfer pumps in corrosion-resistant material
  • Loading and unloading station
  • Gas detection and emergency shutdown
  • Full safety instrumentation (HAZOP based)

Applications

  • Pulp acid washing stage
  • ETP pH neutralisation
  • Water treatment chemical
  • Chemical synthesis raw material
  • Metal pickling and surface treatment

On-Site HCl Production: Reliability and Cost Stability for Paper Mills

Hydrochloric acid is consumed in paper mills for multiple process functions: acid washing of pulp before bleaching to remove metal ions that would otherwise consume bleaching chemicals and reduce brightness, pH adjustment in ETP processes, and ion exchange resin regeneration in boiler water treatment. Procuring HCl from external suppliers creates cost volatility and logistics vulnerability — particularly for mills in inland locations or African markets with limited chemical distribution infrastructure.

Rajshree Group's on-site HCl plants produce 30–33% industrial-grade hydrochloric acid through the direct synthesis route (combining hydrogen and chlorine gases over a catalyst in a synthesis furnace, then absorbing the resulting HCl gas in water). This process delivers a consistent, high-purity product without the transportation risks associated with importing bulk acid.

For mills with an integrated chlor-alkali plant — producing chlorine electrolytically from brine — the HCl plant can be positioned to absorb tail gas from the chlor-alkali unit, producing acid at minimal incremental cost. Rajshree designs HCl synthesis plants as standalone units or integrated into wider chlorine chemical systems including ClO₂ and sodium chlorate plants.

⚗️ Consistent Acid Quality

Rajshree's HCl synthesis plants produce acid at 30–33% concentration with iron content below 5 ppm — meeting the purity requirements for pulp acid washing without further treatment. Consistent on-site production eliminates the quality variation sometimes experienced with purchased acid from multiple suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

HCl (hydrochloric acid) is used in paper mill bleach plants for pH control in the chlorine dioxide stage, in the ETP for pH adjustment, and in the sodium chlorate plant as a process chemical. Rather than purchasing HCl commercially, some mills produce it on-site by burning hydrogen and chlorine gas — more economical for high-consumption mills with captive chlorine supply.
Rajshree supplies HCl synthesis plants from 1 TPD to 15 TPD (100% HCl basis), designed to meet the specific acid consumption of the mill. The plant produces 30–33% concentration HCl solution, stored in FRP or rubber-lined tanks. Rajshree also supplies dilution and dosing systems for safe delivery to the process.
HCl synthesis involves flammable hydrogen gas and toxic chlorine gas. Rajshree's plants incorporate: gas leak detection systems with automatic shutdown, explosion-proof electrical classification in hazardous zones, chlorine gas scrubbers, HCl vapour scrubbers, positive pressure ventilation, and emergency eyewash/shower stations. All safety systems comply with Indian Factory Act requirements.
Yes. Rajshree's HCl synthesis plants are designed for continuous 24/7 operation, synchronised with the bleach plant demand. Automatic flow rate control maintains HCl production at the rate demanded by the dosing system. A storage tank of 24–48 hours capacity provides buffer during brief plant upsets or maintenance windows.
Rajshree's HCl synthesis plants produce 30–33% HCl (by weight), which is the standard commercial concentration and the optimal concentration for safe storage and handling. The concentration is controlled by adjusting the absorption water flow rate. Dilution to lower concentrations (e.g., 10% for pH control dosing) is done at the point of use.
