With the purpose of concluding the year with no less than six thousand tons of sulfuric acid and to achieve some export volume, the matancera Rayonitro company restarted its operations after a short period of maintenance.

Engineer Eduardo Catalá, general director, commented that extreme care has been taken in the start-up phase, so that, taking into account the wind direction, the population is not disturbed by the natural emission of sulfur oxides, which are included in the Cuban standard for environmentally polluting substances.

With technology dating back to 1948, the sulfuric acid plant achieves a concentration of 98 percent, an essential product for electricity generation and sugar production, which is also an indicator of industrial development.

In coordinated production with the Energás project, in Varadero, and supplier of sulfur for the manufacture of acid, the Matanzas industry has the necessary reserves demanded by the nation’s economy.
