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.

随着监管要求的日益严格，硫酸装置的运行对于稳定的冶炼厂性能至关重要。尽管它很重要，但在文献中很少找到关于模拟这一过程的例子。该项目提议开发一个与冶炼厂操作相联系的硫酸装置的详细的暂态模型。该模型将有助于预测工艺行为，探索改进操作的策略，以及减少工艺干扰对制酸装置的影响。该模型将根据基本原理，结合工业运行数据进行开发。将进行模拟，以模拟现有的与工业相关的情景，以便校准该模型。然后将使用额外的模拟来定义处理混乱的最佳反应策略。可以预见，该模型可以发展成为未来制酸装置操作人员的培训模拟器。
