Video Presentation SRU AMU SWU

This document provides instructions for simulating a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) process in HYSYS. It outlines the steps to: 1) add feed stream components and select reaction packages, 2) set up a furnace reactor with attached feed and air streams, 3) connect the furnace effluent to a waste heat boiler and separation vessel, 4) add catalytic converters with attached energy and outlet temperature specifications, and 5) calculate total sulfur produced from converter bottom streams. The author offers more robust HYSYS SRU templates and integration with amine unit simulations.

 Enter the Properties Environment.
 Add Feed Stream Components As Per Table
E15.11, Page 395. Select S_Amorphous for
Sulphur.
 Select Peng Robinson as the Fluid Package.
 Add Furnace or Thermal Stage Reactions
15.21 and 15.22 as one set. Rank 15.21 as 1 and
15.22 as rank 0. Enter conversion (Co) = 100.
 Add Converter or Catalytic Stage reaction
(15.23) as a separate set. Enter conversion (Co)
= 100.
 Enter the Simulation Environment
 Set up Feed and Air Streams as per given
data.
 Add Furnace as a Conversion Reactor. Attach
Air and Feed Streams. Select Set 1 for
Reactions.
 Connect the effluent stream from the Furnace
to the tube side of the waste heat boiler which
is modeled as a Shell and Tube Heat
Exchanger water stream on the shell side.
 Route the cooled stream from the Waste Heat
Boiler to the 2-phase separation vertical vessel
and then to the first catalytic converter.
 Add Catalytic Converter as a Conversion Reactor
and select Reaction 15.23. Also add an Energy
stream and outlet temperature of 171 deg C.
 Feed the gases to a heater and heat to 240 deg C.
 Add subsequent Catalytic Converters and Heater
same as above.
 Sum up bottom streams from the three converters
to find total Sulphur produced.
 More robust templates are available with
HYSYS using Sulphur Recovery fluid
package and a dedicated model palette.
 This SRU simulation can be placed next to
amine unit simulation on the same sheet.
 I will be glad to know if it helped you
designing a new unit or simulating an
existing one. I will love to hear from you.
