    The document summarizes the key components and processes of a sulphuric acid plant with a capacity of 98,508 tons per year of 98.3% concentrated sulfuric acid. The plant takes in SO2 gas from a primary smelting furnace which is then cleaned in the gas cleaning plant before entering the converter section where it is converted to SO3 over a vanadium pentoxide catalyst. The SO3 gas is then absorbed using a double contact double absorption process to produce sulfuric acid, which is cooled, stored, and dispatched from the plant. The main areas of the plant include gas cleaning, conversion, acid absorption, cooling, storage, and dispatch.

    SULPHURIC ACID

    PLANT LEAD
    SMELTER DARIBA

    Introduction
    Capacity of Sulphuric Acid plant 98508 TPA of 98.3% strong sulphuric
    acid
    SAP-I Gas volume of 30550 Nm3/hr & 10.11% SO2
    Input to Sulphuric acid plant
    SO2 gas from primary SKS furnace
    Design Acid Concentration is ~ 98.3%.
    Acid Storage tank capacity 5400 MT

    Areas in SAP
    The different areas in SAP are

    Gas cleaning Plant


    Converter section
    Drying absorption section
    SO2 Blower House
    Tail Gas Treatment Plant

    Cooling Water Tower

    Gas Cleaning Plant

    Gas Cleaning Plant

    Removal of dust,SO3 fumes, mists and fine liquid droplets from gases.
    Dust & heat removal by Quenching
    Moisture removal by cooling and condensing
    Acid mist removal in electro static precipitators.
    Impurities being removed: Fluorides, chlorides, & Arsenic .
    Weak acid ( < 10 % concentration of sulphuric acid ) generated in gas cleaning
    plant is taken to effluent treatment units for neutralization and for removal &
    disposal of heavy metal impurities.

    Contact gas section


    Moisture in GCP outlet gas is totally removed in drying tower (DT).
    Dust free and moisture free SO2 gas is being drawn into converter section with
    1.2MW SO2 blowers.
    Sulphur dioxide to Sulphur trioxide conversion takes place in the 5-bed Catalytic
    converter.
    SO2 + 1/2 O2 <=> SO3
    Vanadium pentoxide catalyst accelerates the rate of conversion of SO2 to SO3
    Process employed: Double Contact Double Absorption (DCDA)
    Bed Configuration:
    Acid plant I : 3+2 configuration
    Tail gas treatment of acid plant I

    Acid Section

    The Absorbing Acid System absorbs the sulphur trioxide (SO3) to


    produce sulphuric acid. This is done in Inter pass absorption tower & final
    pass absorption tower.
    The absorption of water into sulphuric acid is an exothermic reaction and
    will cause the temperature of the acid to rise. The heat of absorption is
    removed through a cooling tower by using plate heat exchangers.
    Product acid @ ~98.3% concentration is pumped out from intermediate
    absorption tower pump tank after cooling through product cooler PHE &
    taken to Mild steel product tank and then transfer to two Acid storage tanks
    of capacity 200 MT each, and then form ASD to Acid Storage and dispatch
    tank of capacity 5000 MT for storage and later for dispatch through road.
    External acid dispatch is done through fully automated one loading station
    having four dispatch points which is situated at DSC Zinc Dariba plant.
