Why is the fan inlet so high

I don’t understand why the inlet of the sulfur production furnace fan is installed at such a high height, around 30 meters. Usually, the inlets of fans are located at much lower heights. Could someone with expertise explain this? Thank you; points will be given
I don’t understand. Could you provide a simple diagram?

It’s also not clear whether a higher height means less dust and other particles being inhaled
I see that the exhaust port of the air separation unit is quite high; most people would think it’s a chimney
If the inlet is high, isn’t the pressure lower at the higher level, making it easier for the fan to draw in air?
The reason for few impurities is quite reasonable – there are many suspended particles floating in the surface layer.
It seems that it’s not just a matter of pressure; generally, the shorter the intake pipeline, the better, as this reduces frictional resistance. Also, does the pressure of these gases increase as they reach the ground?
I’m just guessing too; this still needs to be designed to explain it―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― This fan’s gas is not used for assisting combustion, but rather to participate in the reaction, so higher requirements may apply to the gas
