Sulfuric acid production during the dog days
Thread Content
Production in summer, the most difficult aspects are raw materials and temperature. The high temperatures in summer pose a severe challenge to the system; such high temperatures cause many difficulties in operating the equipment. Despite attempts at troubleshooting, issues such as equipment shutdowns due to high temperatures still occur. The difficulty with the raw materials lies in the heavy and frequent rainfall in summer, which makes the area wet and complicates material feeding. Fortunately, thanks to prior preparation, despite the continuous heavy rains, the system reduced its production capacity without having to shut down. Clean the plate heat exchanger without stopping the machine. Maintain production; sulfuric acid production in summer – how do you manage that?
It’s much better these days, thanks to the coolness brought by the typhoon; otherwise it would be impossible to stay inside the workshop equipment
We are in a lightning-prone area; during thunderstorms, the high voltage drops suddenly, causing the system to shut down. Warm up the pipes, start up the machine, purge the turbine, and connect to the air network.
We are also in a thunderstorm-prone area; we are most afraid during thunderstorms. The power supply of the anode protector has been damaged by lightning strikes
It’s not good; it’s raining, so it’s difficult to feed materials in
Many customer factories in the north that use sulfuric acid equipment have stopped production for maintenance due to the extreme heat. Safety first.
Hehe, we don’t plan to carry out any maintenance this year. The system has been in operation for 5 months now, and its performance indicators are normal; the equipment is also functioning properly. We will operate at full capacity during the summer, and only reduce the load when it’s extremely hot or when there is a shortage of water
I’m not afraid this year because I’m not involved in sulfuric acid production anymore. It’s nice to recall those times as well; thunderstorm weather was really stressful, as there was always the fear that the generator’s quick-break protection would activate and cause a power outage throughout the area, forcing people to rush back and forth in the rain.
It’s too hot, and carrying out maintenance is extremely difficult
In the south, the weather is too hot, which places higher demands on the heat exchange and cooling systems; otherwise, it is not possible to produce 98% acid.
