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.

随着监管要求日益严格，硫酸厂的运行对于稳定冶炼厂性能至关重要。 尽管它很重要，但在文献中很少能找到有关过程建模的示例。 该项目拟开发一个与冶炼厂运营相关的详细的硫酸厂瞬态模型。 该模型将有助于预测过程行为并探索运营改进策略以及减少过程干扰对制酸厂的影响。 该模型将根据基本原理并结合工业运行数据来开发。 将进行模拟以模拟现有的工业相关场景，以校准模型。 然后将使用额外的模拟来定义过程扰动的最佳响应策略。 预计该模型可以开发成未来酸厂操作员的培训模拟器。
