High-capacity, 1.2 million ton/year, pushing-pickling lines capable of processing strip up to 76 in. wide in gages between 0.060 and 0.500 in. are a viable alternative in replacing older continuous pickling lines: space requirements are less (up to 40%) and capital costs lower (up to 60%). Installation of an acid regeneration plant provides major reductions in acid purchases as well as minimizing waste acid and rinse water disposal costs.
