Case Study: Sulfuric Acid Pipeline AuCom Electronics Ltd Case Study: Sulfuric Acid Pipeline AuCom soft starters improve safety for Chilean copper mining industry. Northern Chile is home to some of largest copper mines in the world, but the desert conditions, high altitude and extreme temperatures make road transport extremely dangerous. AuCom soft starters have enabled key materials to be exchanged between mines through pipelines, improving efficiency, reducing road traffic and avoiding accidents. Sulfuric acid is used during the processing of copper ore, and is also a by-product of the processing. It is common for one mine to have an excess of the acid while another mine has a shortage, so the product is often shared between locations. Previously, 25 heavy trucks travelled the roads be
