Recovery - Simple Smelt Dissolving Tank Model

The Smelt_Dissolving_Tank dissolves smelt by mixing a hot smelt stream with a cold weak wash stream. A green liquor stream and a steam stream result.
Specify either the Green Liquor Density or the Green Liquor TTA.
The required inlet flow of weak wash is calculated and the inlet weak wash stream flow is set to this value.

Data Descriptions

Data Unit Description
Set Item Type Native
Equipment Properties GLTemperature Temperature F The temperature of the raw green liquor.
GLDensity Density lb/ft3 The density at 25 C of the raw green liquor.
GLTTA Density lb/ft3 The TTA at 25 C of the raw green liquor.
VaporFlow     Vapor flow to the vent, lb/lb smelt. Vapor flow at the stack is typically 0.357 lb/lb smelt. Stacks are usually 30-40% moisture.
VentTemp Temperature F Temperature of vent. 212 F at the stack after the scrubber. Vent temperature should be higher.
AirFlow     Air flow, lb/lb smelt. 1.4 lb air/lb smelt at the stack. No CO2 in stack gas.
VentTRS     The flow of TRS (H2S) in the vent, lb/lb smelt. 3.3x10^-5 lb/lb smelt after the scrubber. 50 times that in the vent?
VentSolids     Solids flow to the vent, lb/lb smelt. 110x10^-4 lb/lb smelt to the scrubber. 1.98x10^-4 lb/lb smelt after the scrubber.

Method&Equations

The smelt dissolving tank dissolves smelt by adding weak wash. The amount of weak wash used is set by specifying the green liquor density or TTA. It is assumed that the resulting raw green liquor is saturated. Thus additional weak wash must be added to cool the resulting green liquor to saturation by evaporation. The evaporated water is vented.
