6 7 8 B Vacuum Plant Layout – With Steam Ejectors and Condensers
AC SE5a SE5b C2 SE4a C1 SE3 SE2 SE1 5-Stage Steam Ejectors Pumps • 6 Steam Ejectors • 2 Steam Condensers • Steam flowrate 6.5 tph • Water flowrate 358 m3/h @ 35 °C in • < 5 min pump-down time • Final operating pressure 0.5 torr
VD Tank Vacuum Bag Filter Mechan.Vacuum Pumps General Vacuum System Design Configuration • One fixed Vacuum Tank • One Vacuum Filter • One Vacuum Pump
Vacuum Bag Filter Design • SMS CONCAST State-of-the-art pollution control technology • Single filter sufficient for VD • Reverse jet cleaning with inert gas • Filter pressure drop < 0.1 hPa
Hydrogen Removal • Time at < 1.33 hPa 10-14 min. • Hydrogen contents of 1.5/2.0 ppm can easily be achieved
Desulphurisation • Initial S 0.020-0.030 % with some peaksFinal S 0.001-0.006 % without Ca treatment
Electric Energy Consumption • 0.5-0.9 kWh/t for 22 minutes degassing time
Final Vacuum Pressure • Typical final vacuum pressure 0.3-0.4 hPa
3-Stage Mechanical Vacuum Pump • 3 Stages • Identical, parallel modules • Each module consists of roots blowers and 1 screw compressor • Required suction capacity determines number of modules • Easily expandable • No stand-by costs
Suction 1st Stage 2nd Stage 3rd Stage Mechanical Vacuum Pump Configuration • Machines mounted on common frame • Minimum inter-stage ducting • Compact installation – minimized civil works • Joint Concast-Edwards vacuum pump concept developed - steel degassing • Spare pumps available in England for shipping within 48 hrs • Edwards local service workshop in Bairro do Limão, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Mechanical Vacuum Pumps – Blowers/Compressors Roots blower in 1st and 2nd stages • Double-ended screw compressor in 3rd stage • Progressive-pitch screws minimise thermal stresses
Mechanical Vacuum Pump 2- module mechanical vacuum pump • Suction capacity 47 kg/h dry air @ 0.67 hPa, 20 °C • Cooling water 6 m3/h • Installed power 350 kW • Nitrogen purging 4.1 Nm3/h • Electric energy consumption VD< 1.6kWh/tonne • Pump-down time < 4 min • Final operating pressure 0.5hPa ( 0.4 torr)
COMPARISON OF OPERATING COSTS • Main cost difference derives from steam and cooling water • Operating costs around 3.7 € per tonne lower with mechanical vacuum pumps
