The Spent Acid Regeneration Plant (SAR) is an advanced process to treat waste gases and
liquids containing sulphuric and organic components. The process of inlet gases in the presence
of water vapour; makes it a wet oxidation process.
The Process Flow Diagram (PFD), Piping Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and corresponding
stream tables show the process in following Sections. (See more details at the PID lead sheet)
Using a three-stage process, reaches a maximum efficiency to convert sulphuric components into
H2SO4.
In the first reaction stage, thermal energy (mainly the reaction from H 2S and CS2 to SO2) oxidises
all sulphuric components into SO2.
In the second stage (the reaction from SO 2 to SO3), the produced SO3 inhibits conversion rates
above 98 %. In the three hurdles, conversion takes place by different types of catalysts.
In the third stage, P&P applies LTCC (low temperature carbon catalyst) for tail gas treatment
where the remaining SO2 directly converts into weak acid with a conversion rate of more than
95%.
This achieves a total conversion of SO2 into H2SO4 of >99.9 %

1 Stop Mode (STM) In this mode, no gas flow passes the main equipment like,
condensers, electrostatic filters, reactors, and burning
停车模式 (STM)
chamber.
该模式下,系统主要设备中,如高温过滤器,冷凝器,静电除
雾 器 , 反 应 器 和 燃 烧 室 等 无 气 流 通 过 。
The main gas valve for combustion air must be closed as well
as the stack valve, the process gas blowers and the
combustion air blower must be stopped. There should be no
process gases containing sulphuric components in the
equipment to avoid corrosion.
助燃风主风阀 必须关闭,烟囱阀门 也必须关闭,工艺气风机
以及助燃风机都必须停止。系统中不应该有含有硫化物的工艺
气流以避免设备腐蚀。
2 Fresh Air Mode In this mode, the plant is fully in operation and only ambient air
(FAM)新风模式 is going through the equipment, the burner is on, but no waste
gases flow and no acid is produced. MIN 48HRS before STOP
该模式下,装置在运行状态,但只有新风通过系统设备。燃烧
器在工作,但不允许切入废气,系统不会产生硫酸
3 Acid Gas Mode In this mode acid is produced by burning the waste gas
(AGM) containing sulphuric components, the process gas contains
SO2 and SO3 for acid production ,all the temperatures in the
酸性气模式 (AGM)
steel parts must be over the dew point to avoid serious
corrosion.
该模式下含有硫化物的废气被燃烧,装置生产硫酸。所有的金
属设备表面温度都要高于酸的露点,避免过度腐蚀

Therefore the sequence to START SAR must always be: STM FAM AGM
and to STOP SAR switch from: AGM FAM STM
所以,SAR 装置开车的顺序总是应该由 STOP 停车模式到新风模式而后到酸模式。
将装置停车,总是要将酸性气模式切换到新风模式,而后最终到停车模式。
DCS program must follow this procedure, in case of problems DCS will switch back from AGM to
FAM, ONLY IN EXTRAORDINARY SITUATIONS to stop the plant is allowed because of the risk
of corrosion to the equipment because SO3 and H2SO4 is present in the whole plant
DCS 编程必须遵守该步骤。如果有问题,DCS 将会从酸性气模式切到新风模式。因为整个系统中
有 SO3 和硫酸,为避免腐蚀风险,只有在极端情况下才允许中途停止装置的运行。
- The plant must run in FAM for 48h before you might even think of turning the SAR into warming or
totally off. TURNING OFF THE SAR BEFORE 48 HOURS FAM OPERATION IS A SEVERE AND
BRUTE OFFENCE AGAIN P&P MANUAL! WE REFUSE ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS FOLLOWING
SUCH OPERATION!
After any emergency shut down of the plant, first the plant has to run in Ambient Air Mode with
temperatures in the first reactor between 510 and 540°C. The catalyst will release SO 3 resulting in
a small amount of acid. After min. 48 hours and when with no further acid produced the plant is
ready for shut down.
装置紧急停车后,首先装置会运行在新风模式下内的温度在 510°C 到 540°C。催化剂内剩余的 SO2
将会以 SO3 释放出来并且产生少量的酸。48 小时候当不再有酸生成时,装置才可以停车。

Caution:
CONTACT LENSES SHOULD NEVER BE WORN WHILE
HANDLING SULFURIC ACID.
The Occupational Health Guidelines for Chemical Hazards, published by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Labor provides information regarding the
proper selection of respiratory equipment (refer to section entitled “Occupational Health Guidelines
for Sulphuric Acid”).
Use respiratory protections whenever there is potential exposure to oleum. Oleum will liberate
sulphur trioxide (SO3) gas, exposure to which can be extremely damaging to the lungs.

with blinds, thorough purge with nitrogen, flushing with air, and analysis for oxygen, combustibles
and toxic gas have been taken.
All workers entering vessels must wear respiratory protection or the HGF is verified as safe.
Supervisors should not allow inspections to be conducted without their written approval and
participation and without briefing all workers beforehand on the hazards and treatment of H 2S
exposure. Periodic retesting of the air within the vessel during inspection or maintenance must be
part of a complete safety program.
Conditions are especially hazardous during purging, startup, and shutdown operations.
At these times flammable or toxic gas may be present even in areas considered non hazardous,
making extra precautions mandatory.
If a release of gas occurs, observe the windsock located in the SAR, and move cross wind and
away from the source of the release.
The Incinerator and Incinerator Stack are essential safety features of the design. When in
operation, these pieces of equipment protect against toxic or flammable gas being discharged in
the plant area and insure that all sulfur compounds are discharged at the top of the stack in the
form of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).
All personnel entering the SAR should have personal H 2S / SO2 monitors to alert of H 2S / SO2
presence. Personnel should also have 5 minute breathing air escape packs whenever leaving
grade (climbing stairs/ladders). Personnel must wear breathing equipment when doing potentially
hazardous work. Typical events/activities which may permit hydrogen sulfide to escape are:
Taking samples of process / input gas.
Entering or working on any equipment items and/or instrumentation in confined spaces,
such as the vessels or other equipment for inspection or maintenance.
venting to the atmosphere if a pressure surge were great enough to break e.g. the seal.
Entering confined spaces, such as the reactors or other vessels for inspection or
maintenance.
Taking samples of process gas or process liquids such as sulphuric acid, sour water or
amine.
Changing filter cartridges or other filter media.

The cartridges hang vertically from the header plate separating the clean and dirty compartments.
In use, the hot gas is sucked through the filter medium from outside to inside, depositing the
particles on the outer surface of the medium. The solids form a continuous layer, or cake, on the
surface of the element. The high collection efficiency of the filters relies partially on the fact that
some of the collected solids stay in the filter. Additionally solids that are collected do not penetrate
further into the element.
The blow off pipes, are removable to provide easy and fast access to remove the filter elements if
they need for replacement or check. The manhole provides space to remove the candles out of
the HGF unit.

All HGFs are in operation during normal operation. In case of maintenance of the candles, the
other HGFs will remain operational to provide efficient particulate removing from the raw process
gas.
5.1.2. Reverse pulse cleaning system
The system contains a jet pulse cleaning technique. See the PID and the data sheet for more
details of construction.
The filter is blocked within a relative short time and thus accumulated filter dust on the candles is
removed periodically. The very short opening time of the solenoid valves a sharp pulse (typically
<100 ms) and blast of high pressure of nitrogen (typically <5 bar) assure that dust is blown back.
The holes in the pulse tubes act as sonic chokes and the air is emitted through them as powerful
jets pointed at the open ends of the filter elements. As the jet moves away from the tube and
approaches the filter element it spreads out in area, losing speed, but entrains a substantial
volume of process gas.
In fact, there is a substantial excess of pressure and this shortly creates a reverse flow. Hence,
this is the reverse pulse cleaning system.
This flow is typically several times the flow velocity in the forward direction, and it is sufficient to
apply an outward force on the filter cake of accumulated solids that is on the outer face of the filter
element.
In the first 10 - 20 reverse pulse cleaning cycles only a proportion of the collected dust is removed
by the cleaning action. The remainder forms a conditioning layer that increases the pressure drop
across the filter. After these initial cycles the pressure drop stabilizes at a level that is then the filter
is operating in a time controlled cleaning mode.
5.1.3. Dust Collecting system
Discharge of solids from the vessel requires a hopper section at the bottom tapering to a valve or
seal allowing solids to pass intermittently to a removable container.
The solids that accumulate on the outside of the element fall into a hopper through the discharge
system.
In Operation (in AGM): the flaps below the filter are open, solids fall into the collector
barrel by gravity.
Prevent dust bridges in the bottom part: the bottom part shall be periodically cleaned (1-
2x a day
In case of a clogged the discharge pipe: the valves and must be opened shortly to limber
up or to blow the dust out of the pipe to restore the original clogging free situation.
5.1.4. Disposal of waste products
Proper storage of waste (dust, broken filter candle material) is the job of the operator.
Caution:
Individual changes and customizations are not permitted since these
may lead to risk to the health and life of persons and damage to the
system.
Caution:
If the main blowers are running or if the plant is in AGM, FAM Mode
