1. General System Description

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)

Table 1 – P&ID Sections


Section P&ID Description
100 810 Combustion System
200 820 Reactor 1
300 830 Condenser 1
400 840 Reactor 2
500 850 Condenser 2
590 855 Carbon Reactor (Tail gas treatment)
600 860 Heat transfer Salt (HTS) System
700 870 Acid Cooling and Transfer
800 880 Steam System

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 %

3. SYSTEM OPERATION MODES


For the SAR 3 automatic modes are selectable: 对 SAR 系统本身,将有三个模式可选:

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

485633208.DOCX

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。

4. Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices that you should observe to ensure your personal safety and to
prevent damage to property.
Qualified personnel may only perform Commissioning and operation of the device.
Qualified personnel are those based on their training and experience to recognize risks associated
with these products / systems and to avoid possible hazards.

SAFETY FIRST SAFETY FIRST SAFETY FIRST


WORKING SAFELY PREVENTS IINJURY & ACCIDENT
THEWAY
THE SAFE WAY IS THE BEST BEST SAFETY DEVICE IS CARE WORKER

THINK
SAFETY FIRST

Safety First should not be just a catch phrase.


Safety First must be part of every action taken to ensure worker safety and long-term
sustainability of every company.
4.1. Health and safety considerations
The operation of the SAR incurs dangerous toxic media and high temperatures, which can lead to
heavy injuries and in worst case to death. Only qualified personnel may do the operation of the
plant as well as all activities on plant area, observe the security instructions carefully and consider
the security appointments. Following chapters give an overview about the health and safety
considerations.
4.2. Safety declaration
All personnel managing or operating the SAR plant, together with all personnel having access to
the SAR plant must be familiar with the contents of this Manual, and especially those instructions
involving Health and Safety. Take special attention and appropriate action where any component
or location is marked with a warning sign. Warning signs shall be respected, never removed,
defaced, or obstructed, and replaced when damaged or lost. Install new signs for a new potential
hazard.
P&P has no responsibility for personnel injury, fatality, or equipment damage resulting from plant
operation that deviates from the default products and quantities. Use the plant shall only for the
products and quantities stated in the manuals and only in accordance with the technical and safety
data stated in the manuals. Safety guidelines local laws or federal safety rules or provisions should
be followed and need to be added to this manual.

485633208.DOCX

Caution:
Individual changes and customizations are forbidden since
these may lead to risk to the health and life of persons and
damage to the system.

4.3. PROCESS Hazards and PERSONAL Protective Equipment


Operating the plant with gas temperatures up to 500 °C, is to ensure that people are not exposed
to the hot and toxic process gas and the plant parts. Do not store or wear highly flammable
substances and materials near the plant. Before repair work or other activities are carried out on
the system, determine by measurement that no danger of high temperature or dangerous process
gas concentration exists. In the pneumatically driven elements, the risk of jamming is given and
makes sure that when repair work is given a secure state and the compressed air supply is turned
off. Also N2 gas storage tank for the filter cleaning system is in operation under pressure and
poses a security risk. It is important to ensure that the pressure is released when work must be
carried out at the storage tank.
Personal protective equipment is not a substitute for safe working conditions where better
engineering controls and safer work practices can be implemented. It is, however, in certain
instances, the only practical means of protecting the worker.
Wear the personal protective equipment described in this section whenever skin contact with
sulphuric acid is possible or whenever the airborne concentration of sulphuric acid / SO 2 / H2S may
exceed acceptable exposure limits.
BREATHING APPARATUS SUITABLE FOR SULPHUR DIOXIDE MUST BE WORN!
Breathing apparatus suitable for use in atmospheres containing sulphur dioxide must be available
for emergency use unless an automatic or remotely operated steam quenching system provides
fire protection. Workers shall wear hats, full-length heavy-duty overalls, fabric or heat resistant
gloves, and safety shoes.
ONLY ENTER IN THE EQUIPMENT WHEN:
1) being convinced that normal atmospheric conditions exist in the equipment and are confirmed
safe with appropriate testing equipment
2) one is fully ensured that power to the any electrical equipment has been disconnected before
(and in secured position against switching on again).
4) Never assume any part of a wet electrical system is safe, not even the main switch or circuit
breaker.
5) a WARNING sign is placed on tank indicating work-in-process.
Do not open any doors or remove any covers or guards while the equipment is in operation,
unless grates or screens prevent entry and/or discharge of solid or gaseous media properly
protect these openings. Do not inset hands, feet, tools, or other foreign objects into any equipment
while it is in operation. Any of these actions could result in bodily harm or death.
The protective equipment includes:

485633208.DOCX

Chemical safety goggles and face shield


Rubber or polyvinyl chloride gloves with gauntlets large enough to cover the forearm
Rubber or polyvinyl chloride high-top safety toe shoes or boots, the tops of which should be
covered by the trousers
 Acid-proof outer clothing that fits snugly at neck and wrists. The wrists of the outer clothing
should prevent drainage of acid into the gloves. Jackets with attached gloves are available.
 Hard hat or other form of head protection (e.g., full cover acid hood)
 A respirator for protection against airborne concentrations of sulphuric acid
 Breathing Protection
Open-top boots, sandals, sneakers or jandals/slippers are not suitable.

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.

4.4. Toxic (Poisonous) Gas Exposure


The major danger of poisoning arises from blown seals, gas leaks or the necessity to enter
vessels for inspection or repairs. Very high toxic gas concentrations are normally present in all
process vessels in the SAR and all interconnecting piping. Personnel must never be allowed to
enter vessels until all possible precautionary measures including proper isolation of equipment

This information is property of P&P Industrietechnik and may not be copied or forwarded without written approval. page 10 of 22
485633208.DOCX

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.

4.5. Intended use of the equipment


The system is exclusively for mechanical cleaning of exhaust gases from the deposition of dust.
Under no circumstances, liquids or explosive matter should enter the system
In particular, the operational conditions of the filter house shall be in conformity with the technical
data.

485633208.DOCX

5. Operation of the system


The complete Hot Gas Filter (HGF) system consists of various individual units. These units are
high temperature equipment items for the continuous removal of particulates from hot process gas
out of the combustion chamber (P&ID Section 100) before it gets in contact with P&P catalysts.
The Hot gas having around 500°C from the combustion chamber is Physically Separated from the
clean gas chamber.
During filtration, the raw gas passes through the filter elements because of the suction controlled
by the hot gas ventilator. The system contains a jet pulse filter cleaning technique. The cleaning
medium is nitrogen or instrument air with <5 bar. The filter is operating in a time controlled blow-off
mode.
Before entering the suction side of the hot gas ventilator, the clean process gases from the other
hot gas filters merge. (P&ID Section 200)
The filter is rugged and allows the gas cleaning without the need to cool the gas.
In the process, it is important that the gas not be cooled because the heat in the gas is utilized in
the downstream process.
The bottom collection cone (
, part 5) which connects filter cylinder and the dust collector vessel (B-910) has the task to collect
the dust, which is blown down, from the filter elements. The discharge flaps are connected directly
to the cone, during operation always open and is closed only for the changing process of the
collection drum.
5.1.1. Ceramic Filter
Ceramic filters must operate above the condensation temperature of the process gas (> 250°C).
Liquid water does not damage the filters but inhibits operation.
The design of a ceramic filter is constrained by the need to remove the solids from the elements
by reverse pulse cleaning and to discharge the solids from the vessel. Reverse pulse cleaning
(see 5.1.2) requires the elements to be in rows applying the pulse to more than one element at a
time - rows are typically 5 - 6 elements long.

Figure 9: Off-set layout of the Hot Gas Filter Elements

This information is property of P&P Industrietechnik and may not be copied or forwarded without written approval. page 12 of 22
485633208.DOCX

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.

Figure 10: Hot Gas Filter

This information is property of P&P Industrietechnik and may not be copied or forwarded without written approval. page 13 of 22
485633208.DOCX

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.

Finally an estimated 1 kg/h dust and soot particulates are collected.


Dust accumulated in the vessel is due for periodical emptying by the clients qualified operating
personnel.
5.1.5. Emptying the dust collector vessel
This information is property of P&P Industrietechnik and may not be copied or forwarded without written approval. page 14 of 22
485633208.DOCX

During emptying the inlet valve must be locked in close position!


The actual emptying interval of the dust vessel can only be estimated after startup during AGM
operation.
In the beginning the rate of dust accumulation must be controlled frequently (half daily) through the
sight glasses by qualified personnel to estimate the fill up rate and to prohibit or prevent the
overfilling the vessel to avoid clogging of the discharge pipe section.
Flaps must remain dust free (whole discharge pipe length incl. flaps must remain dust free). In
case of a clogged the discharge pipe: the valves must be opened shortly to limber up or to blow
the dust out of the pipe to restore the original clogging free situation. When it´s done close the
valves then in reverse order.
Emptying the vessel the flaps are closed and sealing Nitrogen/Air flow must be provided to prevent
escaping process gas out of the HGF (there will be a certain leakage rate through the closed flaps
to prevent ambient air sucked in because of the underpressure of the HGF Body.
At < 90% fill up rate the vessel must be emptied.
5.2. Installation 安装
5.2.1. General Notes
- Provide Heat isolation at the inlets and outlets of the plant
- Provide Heat isolation at the discharge of the system
- Provide Heat isolation at the Dust collector Body
- Any work on the filter system must be carried out using suitable equipment only after ensuring
the prevention of burns or gas poisoning.
- Close Nitrogen/Compressed air when working on the aggregates.
- Drain the gas in the tank before starting work.

5.3. Maintenance 检修维护/ Cleaning 清洁


5.3.1. Safety Guidelines

(see also chapter 4 Safety Guidelines!)


Maintenance and operation of the device by qualified personnel only. Qualified personnel are
those based on their training and experience to recognize risks associated with these products /
systems and to avoid possible hazards.

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
This information is property of P&P Industrietechnik and may not be copied or forwarded without written approval. page 15 of 22
485633208.DOCX

before you enter or just look in the Filter:


>> make sure the main process gas inlet outlet valves to the Filter
cannot be opened from the control room by anybody
>> make sure the inlet outlet valves are “FC” Fail Closed
>> make sure again that the main process gas inlet/outlet valve to the
Filter cannot be opened accidentally from the Control room during
maintenance time or during broken candle replacement works

BREATHING APPARATUS SUITABLE FOR SULPHUR DIOXIDE MUST BE WORN!


All workers entering HGF must be wear respiratory protection or the space is safe.
Workers shall wear hats, full-length heavy-duty overalls, fabric or heat resistant gloves, breathing
apparatus and safety shoes.
Do not open any doors or remove any covers or guards while the equipment is in operation,
unless grates or screens to prevent entry and/or discharge of solid or gaseous media properly
protect these openings. Do not insert hands, feet, tools, or other foreign objects into any
equipment while it is in operation. Any of these actions could result in bodily harm or death.
5.3.2. Maintenance inside the HGF
The HGF system is designed so that a single module can be taken off-line if needed, and the
remaining two or more modules continue to operate at a slightly higher pressure (designed into the
fan) without interruption of the process itself and with no appreciable change in emission control
performance.
5.3.2.1. Maintenance access
The Filter System uses baghouse configuration; filters are back-flushed with pulses of air. A
reliable sealing mechanism is easy to access, and a design for easy installation and routine
maintenance.
Walk-in plenum (Figure 11) design simplifies maintenance access. Filter failure is extremely rare
(except e.g. has been mechanically damaged during installation etc.). Replacement of a hot gas
filter can be accomplished in a single shift without taking the pollution control system off-line if
there are multiple plenums.

Walk-In Plenum

Figure 11 HGF – Walk-in plenum


Before entering the filter for maintenance the HGF must be cooled down to near ambient
temperatures and must be process gas free as.
Make sure nobody can open the main inlet process gas valve during maintenance work in the filter
(e.g. by close the valve manually etc.)
BREATHING APPARATUS SUITABLE FOR SULPHUR DIOXIDE MUST BE WORN!
5.3.2.2. Cool-down process and Purging with Nitrogen:
Follow the following steps for maintenance works of a filter unit to take the HGF “offline”:
1. Make sure the collector system is empty and the connecting pipe is clean (see also chapter:
“Emptying the dust collector vessel”),
2. Check all nozzles are closed and tight,
3. Make sure the upper exit flap opens and the lower is in closed position,
4. Close the exit flap slowly to a position of about 5%.
5. Close entry valve (hot side) totally
6. Make sure the purge valve (N2 or air) is open and check the flow in the HGF
7. Run the purging > 48h
8. Make sure that the HGF is under 40°C and no SO2 is inside the HGF if not keep purging.
5.3.3. Heat-up procedure
1. Switch off spent acid.
2. Heat up the cold HGF with hot air, electrical heating or hot process gas (only ACG switched
on)

485633208.DOCX

3. Make sure the filter temperature is around 400°C or higher.


4. Switch on spent acid if the temperature in the Hot Gas Filter is higher than 400°C.
5. Watch the temperatures in the filter.
6. Slowly increase the Spent Acid quantity to the design capacity.
5.3.4. Manually blow off
1. Close the exit valve slowly to a position of about 5%. Take care of the combustion chamber
pressure (-0.1 kPa). Also, have a look at the speed of the Hot Gas Fan (max. 100%). If
necessary, reduce the amount of the spent acid.
2. Close the entry valve.
3. Make sure that the dust flaps are open.
4. Press the button “Blow off all”. Afterwards the sequence starts and will blow off all lances
(one by one).
5. Check the amount of dust, which falls down into the dust collector vessel.
6. After finishing the sequence, press again the button “Blow off all” and check the amount of
dust. If necessary, keep the sequence running until no more dust falls down. Otherwise,
stop the sequence.
7. Open the entry valve.
8. Open the exit valve very slowly to 100%. Take care of the combustion chamber pressure (-
0.1 kPa).
9. Do the same procedure with all other hot gas filters.
5.3.5. Time controlled blow off
1. Set the time to about 8 to 12 hours (depends on the amount of spent acid).
2. Activate the time-controlled blow off.
3. After the time has expired, the blow off will start automatically.
4. Check the amount of dust, which fall down into the dust collector vessel.
5. After finish the sequence, the actual time sets to 0 and starts again to count.
