SULFURIC ACID SCRUBBER

Sulfuric acid plants, whether in sulfur burning, regeneration, or metallurgical processes, require high-efficiency solutions to manage the emissions produced during acid production. The primary challenge lies in effectively capturing and removing sulfuric acid mist and gaseous emissions, which can have harmful effects on both the environment and personnel. Kimre’s filtration and mist elimination technologies provide solutions to these challenges by enhancing the efficiency of sulfuric acid absorption towers.

• Acid Mist Emissions

  Sulfuric acid mist is a common byproduct in absorption towers. If not effectively controlled, it can cause corrosion of equipment, damage to infrastructure, and pose health risks to workers.

• Regulatory Compliance

  Compliance with environmental regulations is a significant concern. Sulfuric acid mist emissions must be minimized to meet stringent air quality standards.

• Operational Efficiency

  Acid mist buildup can impact the performance of the absorption tower, cause downstream corrosion issues, increase maintenance costs, and reduce the longevity of equipment.

• Kimre’s Fiber Bed Filters and Mist Eliminators

  Kimre provides both Brownian Diffusion Fiber Bed Filters and high-velocity impaction Fiber Bed Filters for sulfuric acid absorption towers. These filters are specifically designed to handle the harsh conditions in sulfuric acid plants. With composite bed designs, Kimre filters meet specific requirements for efficiency and pressure drop, ensuring the effective capture of sulfuric acid mist and contaminants.

  • Brownian Diffusion Fiber Bed Filters: These filters offer high-efficiency mist removal by utilizing the natural motion of particles to facilitate their capture. They are designed for low-pressure drops, reducing energy consumption in the absorption tower system.
  • High-Velocity Impaction Fiber Bed Filters: These filters are ideal for managing high airflow rates typical in sulfuric acid absorption towers. They provide excellent performance by removing larger mist droplets and particulates through impaction mechanisms.

• Enhanced Efficiency

  Kimre’s fiber bed filters provide superior mist elimination, ensuring that sulfuric acid mist is captured before it escapes into the environment, thus meeting or exceeding regulatory standards.

  Long-Term Performance

  Designed to withstand the demanding environment of sulfuric acid absorption towers, Kimre’s filters offer long service life, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

  Customizable Solutions

  Kimre tailors its filtration systems to the specific needs of sulfuric acid plants. Whether dealing with sulfur burning, regeneration, or metallurgical processes, Kimre’s solutions can be adjusted for optimal performance in various applications.

  Reduced Maintenance Costs

  By efficiently capturing acid mist and particulates, Kimre’s mist eliminators reduce corrosion and the need for frequent maintenance. This enhances the durability of the tower and associated equipment, leading to lower overall operational costs.

Kimre’s fiber bed filters can be integrated into new sulfuric acid absorption tower systems or retrofitted into existing ones. The retrofitting process is straightforward, requiring minimal downtime and enhancing system efficiency with improved mist removal capabilities.

A sulfuric acid plant, seeking to enhance its absorption tower performance, implemented Kimre’s high-efficiency fiber bed filters. The result was a marked reduction in sulfuric acid mist emissions, improved compliance with environmental regulations, and a notable decrease in maintenance needs, leading to cost savings and enhanced operational efficiency.
