Introduction
Everyday we are faced with questions related to the business of sulphuric acid whether it is about plant operations, equipment maintenance, materials of construction, etc. The major problem sometimes is where to find the answers to our questions. There are a variety of resources that we can access to find answers. The easiest source is your fellow workers and colleagues. Everyone has a different storehouse of experience and knowledge and someone close by may have the answer. If you cant find a suitable answer to your question in your immediate circle of people, you will need to go further out in search of an answer. Vendors, consultants and contractors have a wealth of experience and knowledge. The key point is that they see problems and solutions in plants other than your own and perhaps can answer your question or resolve your problem based on what was done somewhere else. Journals provide up-to-date information and can be retained to build a reference library of information. Books that deal specifically with the sulphuric acid industry are few and most are out-of-date regarding the latest technology and practices. However, they are still useful for research and the historical perspective they provide on the industry. Conferences and workshops are invaluable for the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the industry but more importantly to network with other people in the industry. The advent of the internet has revolutionized access to information. Virtually all companies related to the sulphuric acid industry have a presence on the internet. Websites vary considerably in terms of usefulness, information, downloads, etc. The most useful sites are updated on a regular basis and provided information and answers on-line. The majority of the content provided in this document concerns how to find information on the internet. The internet is constantly changing and this is but a snapshot of what is presently available.
