DuPont Clean Technologies has announced that Mosaic Fertilizer has recently started up a new sulfur melter at its New Wales, Florida, US, facility, using a MECS® DynaWave® reverse jet scrubber licensed by DuPont to remove SO2, H2S and sulfur particulate.
Less waste and better working solution
Process optimization with self-cleaning candle filters. A producer of herbicides was investigating a plant optimization in which filtration played an important role. The process included a continuous reactor and the products were filters on a belt filter to recover the product,…
Above Ground Sulphur Melter: Advantages
Ashes entering the converter interferes with the formation of SO3. In a sulphur burning plant, sulphur filters usually catch the blame. A “polishing filter” can solve this problem. However, in numerous inspections of sulphur melting plants, Sulphurnet has discovered that it…
What is happening inside the filter? (II)
Main filtration cake from ideal pre-coat Now that we understand the 3 main possible outcomes of the pre-coat layer, we must understand these are the worst and best possible scenarios, these possibilities are in a line from low flowrate to high…
Filtration flow rate: What’s going on inside the filter? (I)
How the filtration flow rate affects the filter internals and what happens to the particles in the different scenarios? Believe it or not, the flow rate, especially in the pressure leaf filter, is a very critical point. Flow rate control must be…
CPC Taoyuan Starts Up Sulfur Recovery Units with MECS® DynaWave® Scrubbing System from DuPont
The Chinese Petroleum Corporation (CPC) awarded DuPont Clean Technologies (DuPont) the contract to supply the technology license, engineering and proprietary equipment for a MECS® DynaWave® wet gas scrubbing unit to be installed at its Taoyuan refinery in Taiwan in August 2015….
Simple Solutions for High Ash Content Levels in Sulphur Plants
Many sulphur-burning plants are plagued by high ash content levels, which contaminates both the waste heat boiler and the catalyst bed in the acid plant’s converter. The answer to this problem is installing a liquid sulphur polishing filter after the pressure leaf filter. The…
