They can be coupled either with a director indirect heat recovery system, ‘The gaseous SO, needed for the sulfonation reaction must be produced with very dry air. The special design of IIT desiccant driers guarantees that the dew point of dried air permanently remains lower than ~70°C, This makes the installation of an oleum demister unnecessary, eliminating all the problems introduced by this device, such as pressure drop, 80g surge, maintenance dificulties and delayed startup. IIT air dryers are desiccant-type: they rely on two towers filled with desiccant material, alternating between air drying phase ‘and desiccant regenerating phase, IIT air dryers are equipped with an autonomous regeneration system that allows to regenerate the desiccant material also before the plant startup, when external hot air isn't available. pst eer ondesecan ai dryer stoam bole for J Gaseous oe roduton rom iu str‘Super Pe enc fr rar LBA, SLES AC andere ‘anu arate wag We ea BUHeN FOF Heat eCOVeNY ‘Suz w 9u3 cone Sulfation and sulfonation Perfected in years of research, IIT proprietary sulfonation reactor is a mult-tube faling film reactor with unique features. + The gas feeding device efficiently removes condensed olaum and uniformly distributes the gas to all the reaction tubes. + The reagents distribution is assembled as a cartridge that can be taken apart from the reactor body, allowing fast and easy cartridge cleaning and/or replacement. The cartridge features permanently calibrated distribution plates, that never require calibration, not even for the first startup. + The protection device, included in the reagents distribution cartridge: «feeds barrier air in order to protect the top of the reactor from charring during the steady state operation « lets recirculate the organic matters to the reactor during the plant preheating, allowing to substantially reduce the production of off-spec acid, without the need to absorb SO, with a sulfuric acid tower. + The reactor body is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, Since the reaction tubes never need to be removed, they are welded to the tube sheets, eliminating any risk of cooling water leakage into the product. + The gasiliquid separator features self-cleaning internal surfaces and guarantees high separation efficiency as well as ‘minimum liquid residence time. IIT sulfonation reactor allows to treat the vast majority of sulfatable or sulfonatable raw materials obtaining the best product auality. Alkylates, fatty alcohols, ethoxilated fatty alcohols, alfa-olefines and methyl esters are just some of the. possible compounds that can be sulfated or sulfonated by IIT reactor.
