Oleum Vent Systems

For Sulphuric Acid Plants

MECS, Inc. offers a fully engineered package system for controlling SO3/H2SO4 emissions from oleum storage tanks, tank trucks, railcars, and loading stations. These units are available in flows from 170m3/h to 2550 m3/h. The units hydrolyze SO3 vapour into sulphuric acid mist and use a high efficiency Brink Mist Eliminator to remove the mist. Typically, customers with a storage tank vent problem will require a 170 m3/h package. If there are multiple vent problems, such as several storage tanks at high rates, a 340, 850, or larger m3/h package will be required.

Where an oleum loading or unloading dock is involved, the package size is governed by the hood design, but a typical package would require a 340 or 850 m3/h oleum vent package.
