Central Florida Section of the AIChE Clearwater Convention Friday, June 11, 2010 1:00-5:00 Thirteenth Annual Sulfuric Acid Workshop Design, Operation and Maintenance of Acid Towers in Sulfuric Acid Plants This year the topic for the Workshop is the design, operation and maintenance of acid towers in sulfuric acid plants. The Sulfuric Acid Workshop was organized to establish informative discussions concerning the design, operation, and maintenance of sulfuric acid plants. This year’s sulfuric acid workshop will focus on the design, operation, and maintenance of acid towers. This crucial component is common to all sulfuric acid plants. The effective operation of these towers ensures trouble free operation of the downstream equipment such as, gas-to-gas heat exchangers and ductwork and low opacity in stack emissions. This workshop will explore past, current, and proposed designs for acid towers design. The workshop format consists of presentations focused at practicing engineers with various degrees of exposure to the sulfuric acid process, plant operation, and plant maintenance. The topics to be discussed are presentations concerning acid brick specifications and installation, NOx exposure, maintenance of acid distributors and acid towers, and mist eliminators. The focus is to assist engineers evaluate the operation and maintenance of acid towers. It is necessary that engineers involved in plant operations understand the issues of this critical piece of equipment. The program will assist in specifying replacement units, evaluation of tower operation and evaluation of tower components for replacement proposals, and evaluating materials of construction. Following the presentations, a panel discussion will take place giving all participants the opportunity to have their questions answered by our panel of experts in the industry. . The Workshop is for people that are involved with the design, operation, and maintenance of sulfuric acid plants. Presenters will be: To download past workshop presentations, they are listed in the Clearwater Paper Index catagory # 24 Any questions concerning the Workshop please contact Rick Davis at Mail to: Rick Davis |
