System and method for containing an emission of sulfur trioxide
First Claim
1. A system for containing an emission of sulfur trioxide, the system comprising:
- a first pressurized vessel, the first pressurized vessel containing sulfur trioxide and wherein the first pressurized vessel is a storage vessel;
a relief vessel containing a volume of a solvent solution, wherein the solvent solution comprises sulfolane;
a first relief conduit providing a first route of fluid communication between the first pressurized vessel and the relief vessel;
a second pressurized vessel, wherein the second pressurized vessel is a reactor and wherein the reactor contains a reaction mixture;
a second relief conduit providing a second route of fluid communication between the second pressurized vessel and the relief vessel;
a separation unit; and
a third relief conduit providing a third route of fluid communication between the separation unit and the relief vessel,wherein an effluent stream conveyed from the reactor is separated into an output conduit and a product conduit by the separation unit, the output conduit comprising the third relief conduit.

Abstract
A system for containing an emission of sulfur trioxide, the system comprising a first pressurized vessel, the first pressurized vessel containing sulfur trioxide, a relief vessel containing a volume of a solvent solution, wherein the solvent solution comprises sulfolane, and a first relief conduit providing a first route of fluid communication between the first pressurized vessel and the relief vessel. A method for containing an emission of sulfur trioxide, the method comprising routing a first relief conduit so as to provide a first route of fluid communication between a first pressurized vessel and a relief vessel, wherein the first pressurized vessel contains sulfur trioxide, wherein the relief vessel contains a volume of a solvent solution, and wherein the solvent solution comprises sulfolane.
