Patent number: 7691360Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process and a plant for the production of sulphuric acid wherein a sulphur dioxide-containing feed gas is converted, at least in part, with oxygen in at least two contact stages of main contacts arranged in series, to generate sulphur trioxide, and wherein generated sulphur trioxide-containing gas is conducted to an absorber and converted therein to sulphuric acid. In order to be able to economically process feed gases of a sulphur dioxide content of between 13 and 66% by volume to sulphuric acid, using conventional catalysts, it is suggested to withdraw from a contact stage connected upstream of the last main contact stage, a partial stream of the sulphur dioxide- and sulphur trioxide-containing gas, to mix the said partial stream with the feed gas to generate a contact gas of a sulphur dioxide content of more than 13% by volume, and to return the same to the first contact stage.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2003Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Outotec OyjInventors: Karl-Heinz Daum, Ekkehart Seitz, Hermann Müller, Nikola Anastasijevic

Patent number: 6153168Abstract: A process is provided for manufacturing sulfuric acid from a gas containing sulfur dioxide and steam. The sulfur dioxide and steam containing gas is subjected to a catalytic oxidation to convert the sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide so as to produce a gas having a sulfur trioxide to steam mole ratio of at least 1:1 at a temperature of 400 to 600.degree. C. This sulfur trioxide and steam containing gas is injected into an indirect heat exchanger where it is indirectly cooled with a cooling fluid so that at least 80 percent of the theoretically possible sulfuric acid is formed and condensed in this heat exchanger. The cooling fluid exiting the heat exchanger is fed into a turbine for the generation of electricity. The gas mixture exiting the heat exchanger is contacted with sulfuric acid in a separate contact vessel to form additional, concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid formed in the heat exchanger is discharged.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1999Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Metallgesellschaft AktiengesillschaftInventors: Ekkehart Seitz, Hermann Muller, Georg Schmidt

Patent number: 5805052Abstract: The system provides for one single cable with four electrical conductors (16 to 19). Two of the conductors (18, 19) form a field bus line for the signal transmission, and the other two conductors (16, 17) form an energy line for providing energy supply. All signal transmitters (1, 2) and signal receivers (3, 4) are connected to the cable, and the cable (16-19) is fitted at both ends with a line termination (20-22). Each signal transmitter (1, 2) and each signal receiver (3, 4) has a field bus controller (8, 10). The entire signal transmission takes place via the two-wire field bus line (18, 19).Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1996Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Gestra GmbHInventors: Heinrich Hansemann, Herbert Laupichler, Jan-Hermann Muller, Joachim-Christian Politt, Gunter Schmitz, Holger Schroter

Patent number: 5719342Abstract: A probe for monitoring a medium within a container, which includes a mounting housing for mounting the probe on a container, a neck part attached at one end to the mounting housing, and at the other end to a radially cantilevered head housing. The head housing extends on only one side of the neck part. A sensor is attached to the mounting housing. An electrical conductor is attached to the sensor and extends through the neck part and into the head housing where it is connected to an electronic circuit, which is mounted inside the head housing. The head housing is made so that its dimensions in the radial direction of the neck part are greater than the dimensions of the neck part. The cantilevered mounting of the head housing allows heat from the container to dissipate into the atmosphere without contacting a significant portion of the head housing. The configuration of the head housing also allows easy access to the electronic circuit, even if two probes are placed in close proximity to each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1996Date of Patent: February 17, 1998Assignee: GESTRA GmbHInventors: Kerstin Borchers, Heinrich Hansemann, Herbert Laupichler, Jan-Hermann Muller, Joachim-Christian Politt, Gunter Schmitz, Holger Schroter

Patent number: 4979875Abstract: Centrifugal pump for the delivery of hot media, in particular of hot water with at least one shaft passage through the pump housing (1,2) to the outside, which passage is provided with a mechanical seal (5). The sealing space is separated from the pump housing by a spacer zone (8) with close shaft play. For the avoidance of sealing disturbances by accumulated gas, the sealing space contains first means (12, 20, 21) for the generation of a liquid circulation in the sealing space with intensive impingement of the sliding surface area of the mechanical seal, second means (12, 18,21) for the stabilization of the liquid circulation away from the mechanical seal and thirdly a large-volume, flow-stabilized, ventable receiving space for separated gas. The gas fractions are thereby reliably isolated from the mechanical seal, separated from the liquid circulation and accumulate in the upper region of the sealing space, so that they are extracted from the liquid circulation and can be drawn off.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1989Date of Patent: December 25, 1990Assignee: Sihi GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Hermann Muller, Wilfried Lehmann, Ralf Mann
