With increasingly strict regulatory requirements, the operation of a sulphuric acid plant is vital for stable smelter performance. Despite its importance, very few examples on modelling the process can be found in the literature. This project proposes to develop a detailed transient model of a sulphuric acid plant with linkages to smelter operations. The model will help to predict process behaviour and explore strategies for operational improvements as well as reducing the impact of process disturbances on the acid plant. The model will be developed based on fundamental principles in combination with industrial operating data. Simulations will be carried out to emulate existing scenarios of industrial relevance in order to calibrate the model. Additional simulations will then be used to define optimal response strategies to process upsets. It is envisioned that this model could be developed into a training simmulator for future acid plant operators.

有了越来越严格的调节要求，硫酸植物的运行对于稳定的冶炼厂性能至关重要。 尽管它很重要，但在文献中很少有关于该过程建模的示例。 该项目提议开发与硫酸植物的详细瞬态模型，并与冶炼厂的操作有联系。 该模型将有助于预测过程行为，并探索用于操作改进的策略，并减少过程干扰对酸性植物的影响。 该模型将基于基本原理与工业操作数据结合开发。 将进行仿真以模拟现有的工业相关性方案，以校准模型。 然后，将使用其他仿真来定义处理upsests的最佳响应策略。 可以预见的是，该模型可以发展为用于未来酸性植物运营商的培训simmulator。
