Conversion rate of the sulfur converter
Thread Content
This post was last edited by flower2008 on 2016-4-12 at 11:01. There are doubts regarding the conversion efficiency of sulfur converters; relevant books (such as Klaus Sulfur Recovery, page 49) state that at an space velocity of 960 h-1, the conversion efficiency is only 25.8%, and at a space velocity of 240 h-1, it is only 27.3%. In this case, with a combustion furnace achieving a conversion efficiency of 65%, two stages of conversion are still far from achieving 95% conversion efficiency. Has anyone paid attention to this issue? What is the actual conversion efficiency in real reactors?
I’ve never seen such a low conversion rate; usually it’s around 50 or 60 percent.
I heard it’s 20% for level 1 and 10% for level 2, accounting for the total conversion rate; designers should be aware of this
Hehe, waiting for an expert to clarify this. When I was evaluating the catalyst’s activity, I was also completely confused; I could only take samples from the inlet and outlet of the reaction reactor and then calculate the conversion rate to compare it with the design values.
