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，硫酸装置的运行对冶炼厂的稳定性能至关重要。尽管它的重要性，很少的例子建模的过程可以在文献中找到。本项目建议建立一个详细的与冶炼厂操作相联系的硫酸厂瞬态模型。该模型将有助于预测过程行为并探索操作改进策略，以及减少过程干扰对酸厂的影响。该模型将根据基本原理结合工业运行数据开发。将进行模拟以模拟工业相关的现有情景，以校准模型。额外的模拟将用于定义处理扰动的最佳响应策略。设想该模型可以发展成为未来酸厂操作人员的培训模拟器。
