SO3 in Flue Gases
SO3 in Flue Gases
(OP)
Hello to everybody
I would like to know if is possible to calculate SO3 in flue gases of coal boiler having 1200 mg/Nm3, I would like to set my Dew Point knowing, so I need to know SO3 concentration.
Bye there

The second thread in your post is about the aire pressure distribution around a telescope dome. Was this your intention,

There is enough moisture in the flue gases to enable the formation of sulfuric acid when the SO2 converts to SO3.
This humidity comes from a variety of sources, such as hydrogen in the coal composition, free moisture in the coal, moisture in the combustion air.
What is exactly that you wish to find ? Is it the amount of SO3 formed ? Please clarify.

Thanks for the correction, athomas236.

Why not just buy a dewpoint meter. I think there is a UK company called Land that make such a meter.

Thanks for your valuable answers, our coal boiler sometimes needs to work at minimum load (wich is less than the manufactures manual indicates), the temperature of flue gases in the exit of Chimney at design load is 132 C (295 F) it decreases at minimum load to values as low as 107 C (250 F), so I was looking information in the book "Combustion Fossil Power" where I found a Curve "temperature of flue gases vs PPM SO3", since we have a SO2 meter on line I was thinking the ways to calculate SO3 if it is possible or take samples to measure it, set one alarm in control room is one thing that I would like to get.
Thanks again
Bye there

1000/Tdp=3.9526-0.1863ln(PH2O)+0.000867ln(PSO2)-0.000913ln(PH2O)ln(PSO2)
Tdp is in degrees K, P is partial pressure in mm Hg. The error is claimed to be small.
