Let’s discuss what the total energy consumption of your sulfur recovery units is
Thread Content
What is the total energy consumption of your sulfur recovery unit, including the 3.5MPA steam and sulfur production?
560 kilograms of standard oil per ton, including 3.5 MPA steam and sulfur production
For the production of sulfuric acid from 800,000 tons of sulfur, the use of Siemens 5600 kW/h turbofans results in an electricity consumption of only 1000 kW/h, with 1.75 tons of steam generated per ton of sulfuric acid produced
What is your processing volume? Why is your consumption so high? Does it include solvent regeneration as well?
The variations in sulfur processing costs are quite significant; they can range from negative values of over 150 barrels of oil equivalent per ton to 300 barrels of oil equivalent per ton, so it’s not possible to make a simple comparison
What was said upstairs is correct; it’s best to specify the process route and equipment configuration when discussing energy consumption.
