Is it appropriate to send the odor from the acid water tank to the incinerator?
Thread Content
After researching a lot of information, I found that the foul odors coming from the tops of large tanks containing acidic liquids are generally treated using exhaust gas deodorization systems; in most cases, absorbents such as alkaline solutions and activated carbon are used to absorb the odors before releasing the air. Now we have an idea to send it to the sulfur recovery flue gas incinerator for treatment in order to reduce the number of equipment units. I wonder if this will work? Is this done in China? How is it performing?
This could have a significant impact on the incinerator, as the gas flow varies in volume, sometimes being present and sometimes not, and the pressure is also very low. Using alkalis for absorption may no longer meet environmental standards
Hainan is the chimney for sulfur intake; I don’t know if it has been fed sulfur or not
The process is feasible, but emissions will exceed limits, and the pipelines are prone to clogging.
Thank you for your feedback. The volume of gas is minimal compared to that in the sulfur recovery exhaust gases, with little variation, so it should have no significant impact. Pressure is indeed a problem, and we are currently considering the option of increasing pressure. I’m not very familiar with exhaust gas deodorization processes; with such a small volume, it should be easy to meet the standards.
Straight into the chimney? What is the emission height? Will it exceed the limits? Is it very smelly in the surrounding area?
There is an ammonia-based desulfurization unit after the incinerator, so levels should not exceed the limits. But may I ask, why do pipelines get clogged easily?
