Malaysia’s SumiSaujana Group has entered a collaboration with Danish firm Topsoe to explore production of sulfuric acid from industrial gas streams.
The partnership will assess potential projects in Malaysia and Indonesia, focusing on refineries and gas processing facilities. The aim is to convert sulfur-containing emissions into commercially usable sulfuric acid using specialised technology.
Under the plan, SumiSaujana will lead project development, including feasibility studies, construction and operations. Topsoe will contribute technical expertise and is expected to supply its wet gas sulfuric acid technology.
The companies said the initiative could improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact by turning waste streams into valuable products.
The collaboration is currently at an early stage and depends on feasibility study results, but both parties see potential for long-term projects in Southeast Asia.
