Obiettivo This project is aimed at expanding previous laboratory studies to plant scale and demonstrating the benefits of ultrasonics in the pickling process on a pilot pickling line. The proposal has six main objectives:- to construct large-scale laboratory equipment capable of simulating full scale pickling tank depth to measure the characteristics of ultrasonics designed for "beams" of sound suitable for treating wide strip, and to establish the optimum positioning of adjacent beams;- to demonstrate on large samples, the reduction in acid volume, temperature or strength that is possible when using ultrasonic transducers on a continuous basis and when using short bursts of ultrasound; - to develop a full-size design capable of retro-fitting the transducers to existing pickling lines;- to install ultrasonic transducers on a narrow strip pilot pickling line to obtain operating data;- to determine the costs of a full-size ultrasonic installation; - to estimate the reduction in environmental impact, particularly from reduction in acid fume emission in the context of rust prevention of inter-process stock.
