Steam production for sulfuric acid production from 220,000 tons has declined
Thread Content
The company’s 220,000-ton sulfur-based sulfuric acid production plant has been in operation for 7 years. Currently, both sulfuric acid production and steam production have declined, with a particularly significant drop in steam production. Reduced from 32 tons per hour to 27 tons. I’m asking experts to help analyze where the problem might lie
Hehe, production has dropped already, yet the steam level hasn’t gone down. Let’s focus on restoring production first
If the catalyst has already affected production, then the conversion rate will be poor long before 1:30; it’s hardly possible for the plant to continue operating. My guess is that as time goes on, the system resistance increases, the airflow decreases, and as a result production drops as well. The amount of steam produced will also decrease – but this is just a guess, as too few details have been provided by LZ
When the system is operating normally, the shift production is around 225 tons (over 8 hours), with a medium-pressure steam output of 32 tons per hour. The current batch production volume is around 210 tons, with medium-pressure steam at 27 tons per hour.
What you say makes a lot of sense. Which part do you think is blocked?
What process do you use to produce acid?
It’s hard to judge this just yet; the entire manufacturing process is so complex and involves so many pieces of equipment that it’s impossible to analyze it in just a few words. The original poster needs to conduct a more thorough analysis and inspection.
The steam yield per ton of acid has dropped significantly, from 1.2 to 0.8
