The '''Sour Water Stripper''' is the primary machine for processing [[Sour Water]] by-products created during the petrochemical refining chain.

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