SULPHONATION PLANTS & AIR POLLUTION CONTROL

Not only demisters: other kind of solutions from our range of products


We have been working with sulphonation plants since many years now, and one of the best-selling products for this industry are Fiberwind candle filters, with no doubt.
We have presented many different kind of mist eliminators: with GX fiber, with polypropylene cages, Brownian filters, and inertial filters.
But now, it’s time to show you other kind of solutions for this specific industry!
Read below and discover alternative items that AWS Corporation can supply to control air pollution and emissions in sulphonation plants!

APPLICATION: SULPHONIC ACID REMOVAL / OFF GAS TO TREATMENT SECTION

SOLUTION: HVTR - HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER (FOR ESP PLANTS)

The HVTR is the beating heart of our Electrostatic precipitators.

This powerful transformer is aimed at Reducing Electricity cost and lower the environmental footprint.

What are the differences between an HVTR and a standard transformer?

Compactness. T/R, Control, Reactor and Ground Switch are Integrated in one package
Energy saving. The HVTR Operates at High Frequency and therefore the supply is smaller and lighter.
Easy. Quick installation, almost zero maintenance is needed.

Still not convinced? The list of benefits is not finished:

The High frequency T/R improves the peak to average output ratio, thereby supplying up to 30% more power into the WESP or ESP.
It requires less input KVA to get the same output power, that means: better power factor.
The HVTR provides faster arc shutdown -30 μsec.

APPLICATION: SO2 SCRUBBER

SOLUTION: CERAMIC PACKING / AWS CERAPAKTM

AWS supply ceramic packings that are made of high-quality clay only, with specially formulated chemical composition and controlled grain size distribution is used resulting in a saddle with very high crush strength and very low porosity.

This product ensures excellent mass transfer rates at low pressure drop and less than 1 percent acid absorption.

We can supply different size and shapes of ceramic packing.

APPLICATION: SULPHONIC ACID REMOVAL SECTION

Process conditions

  • Gas flowrate: 15.000 Nm3/h
  • Temperature: 50 °C
What needs to be filtered: sulphonic acid mist

Technical solution

AWS supplied the ElectrocleanTM ESP with the following features:

Vessel
The vessel was made in SS316L but also carbon steel can be supplied as alternative material, depending on customer’s requirements and in case of specific processes only.

Internals
Tube bundle, ionizing electrodes & their support structures (top & bottom) and insulator compartments have been manufactured in SS316L.

As alternative tube bundle, ionizing electrodes support structures (top & bottom) and insulator compartments can be also fabricated in carbon steel if allowed by the specific process conditions.
