How much fuel is consumed during the heating up for conversion?
Thread Content
Could you please provide information on the fuel consumption during the heating up or shutdown of the sulfuric acid plant, such as the amount of diesel or natural gas used? Also, please indicate the gas flow rate when the plant is operating normally and the amount of catalyst used.
Regarding the diesel consumption during the heating process of a 400,000 tons per year sulfur-based sulfuric acid production plant: it is around 20 tons. The catalyst volume is 260 m3, and the air volume used for heating is one-third of that used during normal operation.
Information I am aware of. 200,000 tons of sulfuric acid produced. 15 tons of diesel No. 0, with a heating time of 36 hours. The catalyst loading is 160 cubic meters.
