Beltran Technologies, Inc. has designed and engineered 4 new WET ELECTROSTATIC PRECPITATORS for Hindustan Zinc’s newest sulfuric acid production line.
Larsen and Toubro Construction, Minerals and Metals has specified 4 Beltran Wet Electrostatic Precipitators for Hindustan Zinc’s newest sulfuric acid plant in Debari Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. The WESPs BTP-10 x 10 each are configured 2 in parallel followed by 2 in series. In the sulfuric acid production line, the WESPs are positioned after the scrubber system. The number of Beltran WESPs operating at Hindustan Zinc plants for sulfuric acid gas cleaning now total 24.
Hindustan Zinc, the world’s largest zinc smelter operation utilizes their downstream sulfuric acid plant for the production of pure H2 SO4 sulfuric acid for various markets like fertilizer, battery manufacturing, chemical and industrial end-uses.
THE BELTRAN ADVANTAGES:
While most WESPs are designed with similar technology, they are not all created equal. However, they all must perform charging the input gas stream, with high voltage ionizing electrode rods, the collection of submicron particulate matter, and gas removal from the system. Beltran’s WESP system advantage is the engineering of the ionizing rods. Beltran Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESPs) are an advanced technology designed around a multistage system of ionizing rods with star-shaped discharge points. These are encased within square or hexagonal tubes which are lined with grounded collection surfaces. Beltran WESPs are engineered with the use of advanced materials of construction which utilizes the advantages of collector tubes, such as the hexagonal and square tube.
The multi-pointed stars charge and repel some of the submicron particles, then enable the next star to increase its corona power, repeating this phenomenon almost 100 times as the gases flow up the tube. This type of electrode can produce considerable efficiency in single or multiple pass WESPs, usually utilized in acid plants.
Beltran wet electrostatic precipitator systems can clean complex gaseous emissions of particulates and acid mists down to submicron scale (PM 2.5) with up to 99.9 % efficiency necessary for the production of pure sulfuric acid.
The Beltran WESP manufactured with conductive graphite composite materials have the advantage of being:
- Highly corrosion resistant
- Have good mechanical properties
- Electrically conductive
- Homogenous
- Do not require water/acid film to ground WESP
- Fire retardant and thermally robust
- Cost effective
