Do all of you’s sulfuric acid production facilities have waste steam and waste heat power plants? I have a technical project that can make full use of these resources

Some companies have installed waste heat generation systems to make use of part of the waste heat, but most of the heat is still discharged as low-pressure steam. Additionally, the electricity price on the grid is not high. I have a high-profit technology project that makes use of steam; if cheap electricity is available as well, it’s even better – it’s like making easy money. With an investment of 20 million, annual profits can reach 80 million, and if waste steam is used to power domestic appliances, the profits can go up to 100 million. The scale of investment can be large or small; it involves no hazardous materials, is non-toxic and pollution-free, and is neither flammable nor explosive.

The way the original poster describes the project, with such high investment and profit margins, makes it seem a bit unreliable: lol

Which new chemical technology wasn’t highly profitable at the beginning? When synthetic ammonia, urea, and chlor-alkali industries first emerged, their profits were also quite high, sometimes even higher. New pharmaceutical technologies generally generate profits of dozens to hundreds of times over, otherwise they cannot cover the huge costs incurred during the research and development phase. There are many high-profit technologies, but they are mixed in with mediocre ones; therefore, the key issue is how to have the discernment to identify and seize these profit-generating tools that come with certain risks.

This seems highly unreliable. Both the waste heat steam and the electricity prices are not high; if a project requires an investment of 20 million to generate 80 million in profits, then why use waste heat steam at all? It would be sufficient to use new boilers or electricity directly. While marketing materials may exaggerate things, such exaggerations make the approach seem unreliable. Investing 20 million to earn 20 million per year – that’s something even venture capitalists would find attractive

I’ve been in contact with several venture capital firms. It’s not as you might think – most venture capital funds invest in areas such as networks, chain stores, and entertainment, which offer quick returns; very few are willing to invest in the real economy. In the field of chemicals, only pharmaceutical-related venture capital firms show interest, while I haven’t encountered any that are interested in inorganic chemicals. Gentlemen, have you heard of any chemical projects, especially inorganic chemical projects, that have received venture capital investment? I can’t say there aren’t any, but they’re extremely rare. If there are any, feel free to introduce them to me. To be honest with you, an authorization for part of this technology has already been sold in Shanghai; 50 mu of land has been acquired and preparations are underway to start construction. You shouldn’t draw hasty conclusions as to whether it’s reliable or not; it’s not up to me to decide, as there are concrete data supporting it. Those who are interested are welcome to discuss it.

Are you referring to the technical upgrades in the drying section and low-temperature waste heat recovery? If so, the gas production volume can be decent. The magnetic rings in the heat recovery tower need to be cleaned regularly; otherwise, it will affect the quality of sulfuric acid. Moreover, there need to be nearby enterprises that require low-pressure steam, and the profits aren’t as high as you mentioned. Just my personal opinion

My project requires a power consumption of 4,000–5,000 KW, as well as 50,000–150,000 tons of steam per year. If these resources are purchased externally, the cost will be 30–50 million yuan. However, by using waste heat for power generation and then reusing the resulting steam for concentration, drying, and evaporation, an economic benefit of 20 million yuan can be achieved

A project that requires an investment of 20 million and generates annual profits of 80 million, another project that can earn 100 million by utilizing waste heat, and a project with an annual return rate of at least 600% – even venture capitalists show no interest in such projects. This only proves that there is something wrong with these projects themselves. Brother, what kind of project can yield such high returns in such a short time? High-tech industries still attract a lot of venture capital, and there is also plenty of idle money in society; whether it can be obtained depends on the technology itself

If you can help me find one, I’ll give you equity in my company. I can’t say there aren’t any, but at least with the venture capitalists I’ve met, the moment the word \"sulfuric acid\" is mentioned, they go crazy; it’s like trying to talk to an ox – they don’t understand anything. 600% is already considered high by you? Venture capital firms usually require a return of 20 to 100 times their investment, that is, over 2000%.
