Sour Water Stripper

Makes Sour Water useful by converting it into Acid. Acid can be used for instance in the production of copper.

Construction	40
Workers	12
Electricity	40 KW
Maintenance	4.0 / 60
Footprint	5x9*
Required Research	Sulfur Processing
Boost by Unity	Available
Designation	Crude Oil Refining

The Sour Water Stripper is the primary machine for processing Sour Water by-products created during the petrochemical refining chain. It is also the primary source of Sulfur for most factories. Additional sources of Sulfur include the Exhaust Scrubber and the Sulfur Mine.

Note that as of EA 0.4.1e, the in-game UI description for this building, at first glance, indicates that it produces Acid, however this is potentially misleading as additional processing is required. To create Acid, process the Sulfur output of this machine with Water in a Mixer.

Recipes

Below are all the recipes, which this building is capable of producing. Note, that some of them may be locked behind Research, and not immediately available in your game.

This article invokes definition of game's source data (either directly, or with one or several template invokes).
Editing it will result in updates to some of the stored tables, which in turn updates automated data lists. See more.
If you've found incorrect data, related to this article's topic, it is a good place to start searching for definitions, requiring updates.
