The wet catalysis process is especially suited for processing one or more sulfur containing streams such as.:[1]
The process
The energy released by the above-mentioned reactions is used for steam production. Approximately 2–3 ton high-pressure steam per ton of acid produced. Industrial applicationsIndustries where WSA process plants are installed:
WSA for gasifiersThe acid gas coming from a Rectisol-, Selexol-, amine gas treating or similar installed after the gasifier contains H2S, COS and hydrocarbons in addition to CO2. These gases were previously often flared and vented to the atmosphere, but now the acid gas requires purification in order not to affect the environment with SO2 emission. Not only can the WSA process meet the demands of SO2 removal, the process also accepts a wide range of feed-gas compositions. The WSA plant provides a high sulfur recovery and the heat recovered causes a substantial steam production. The heat recovery rate is high and the cooling water consumption low, resulting in superior cost performance of this process.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} Examples of WSA process for gasificationExample 1:
Example 2: A sulfur plant in China will be built in connection with an ammonia plant, producing 500 kilotons/annum of ammonia for fertilizer production [2]Spent acid regeneration and production of sulfuric acidThe WSA process can also be used for production of sulfuric acid from sulfur burning or for regeneration of the spent acid from e.g. alkylation plants. Wet catalysis processes differ from other contact sulfuric acid processes in that the feed gas contains excess moisture when it comes into contact with the catalyst. The sulfur trioxide formed by catalytic oxidation of the sulfur dioxide reacts instantly with the moisture to produce sulfuric acid in the vapour phase to an extent determined by the temperature. Liquid acid is subsequently formed by condensation of the sulfuric acid vapour and not by absorption of the sulfur trioxide in concentrated sulfuric acid, as is the case in contact processes based on dry gases. The concentration of the product acid depends on the H2O/SO3 ratio in the catalytically converted gases and on the condensation temperature.[3][4] The combustion gases are cooled to the converter inlet temperature of about 420–440 °C. To process these wet gases in a conventional cold-gas contact process (DCDA) plant would necessitate cooling and drying of the gas to remove all moisture. Therefore, the WSA process is in many cases a more cost-efficient way of producing sulfuric acid. About 80% to 85% of the world’s sulfur production is used to manufacture sulfuric acid. 50% of the world’s sulfuric acid production is used in fertilizer production, mainly to convert phosphates to water-soluble forms, according to the Fertilizer Manual, published jointly by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the International Fertilizer Development Center.
