Investigation into the conversion of sulphur to sulphur dioxide

• Operating conditions of burner

• Equilibrium curve of SO2/SO3 at various operating conditions taking into account

- Temperature
- Pressure
- Oxygen content of air
- Absorbtion

• Methods to determine the efficiency of conversion. Analytical methods to detect the SO2/SO3 ratios.

• Operating curve to show the temperature/ SO2/SO3 dependence.

• The pollution emission of SO2.

• Safety precautions in the factory with respect to SO2/SO3

Investigation into the recovery of product lost in spray drier plant

- Quantifying the amount of product lost into atmosphere.
- Investigate the cause of this loss.
- Developing a solution for this problem.
- Commissioning of the solution to this problem (installing a Roto-clone to prevent that loss).

Removal of organic material from the effulent stream by Ultrafiltration membrane

PRACTICALITY : can successful split of organic and inorganic fractions be achieved using this technology.
OPERATING EFFECIENCY : Determining typical split between inorganic and organic fractions for the different products produced.
OPERATING DATA : The maximum concentration factor achievable causes of fouling pressures required, flux curves and appropriate operating time before exceeding the maximum Trans membrane pressure.
