Chimney Height Calculation

This document contains calculations for the required chimney height to disperse sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from a manufacturing plant producing ultramarine blue pigment at different emission concentrations. It first calculates the unreacted SO2 emission rate of 450 kg/hr without scrubbers. It then calculates the chimney heights needed to achieve SO2 concentrations of 500 ppm and 100 ppm at the chimney outlet, which are 50 meters and 30 meters respectively. The calculations are based on the plant's production capacity and flow rate, sulfur content of the pigment, and the density and volumetric flow rate of flue gases.

Basis for SO2 generation


SO2 Requirement : 550 kg / T of UM blue pigment …. By Heubach
Production capacity: 10000 MT PA for UM production
30.30 MT/day UM production
1262 / hr UM production
Therefore SO2 / hr = 694.1 kg/hr
To Find unreacted S02
S + O2 ----> SO2
32 + 32 ----> 64
From above reaction
Sulphur required for 694.1 kg/hr of SO2 gas = (694.1 * 32 )/ 64 = 347 kg/hr
As per product formula = Al6 Na8 O24 S3 Si6 (MW = 994 kg)
Sulphur content is 96 kg.
Therefore Sulphur required for 1262 kg/hr production of UM blue =
(1262 * 96) / 994 = 122 kg/hr
Therefore sulphur remain unreacted = 347 - 122 = 225 kg /hr.
Therefore SO2 remain unreacted = (225* 64) / 32 = 450 kg/hr
Therefore unreacted SO2 in flue hot gases = 450 kg/hr
Sr. No. Description Symbol Symbol Formula value
1 SO2 formation kg/hr Q 450.00
2 Height of the chimney m Ht = 14 * Q^0.3 88
3 Height of the chimney proposed m Ht 100.00
Q = SO2 emission rate in kg/hr

NOTE :
density of flue gas = 0.95 kg/m3
Flow rate of flue gas = 120000 Nm3/hr
SO2 emission rate = 450 kg/hr
So2 volumetric flow rate - 474 Nm3/hr
SO2 ppm in flue gas without using scrubber = 3950 ppm

Basis : 500 ppm SO2 concentration in stack outlet


We have flow rate through gallary = 120000 Nm3/hr
So SO2 volumetric flow rate = 60 Nm3/hr
Density of flue gas @ 100 C = 0.95 Kg/m3
So mass flow rate of SO2 = 60 * 0.95 = 57 Kg/hr
