Problems with steam ejectors
Thread Content
I have a steam ejector installed to extract the sulfur vapor from the sulfur pool using steam. Our steam ejectors are installed on a platform 40 meters high, while the liquid sulfur tank is at ground level. I was wondering whether it’s possible to extract sulfur vapor even when the amount of steam is small. Thank you; points will be given for this answer
It’s a bit difficult due to the low steam pressure; after all, it’s 40 meters high, so the efficiency and speed won’t be high.
Can it be extracted using 100 KG/h of steam?
As long as a negative pressure can be generated, sulfur vapor can be extracted. Height has little effect on the gas; only the resistance of the straight pipe present is relevant to it.
Agree with what was said above, but if the steam pressure is low, the efficiency of the ejector is very poor, resulting in a limited capacity to remove sulfur vapor
So, what should be done with the water vapor containing sulfur vapor that is removed?
I think it’s possible to extract sulfur vapor, but the efficiency probably won’t be high since the amount of vapor is small
What is sulfur vapor? Is it sulfur? A high temperature needs to be maintained for this. If the insulation and heating for the 40-meter pipe don’t work properly, it won’t be possible to draw it in
He placed the injector so high; it must be discharging directly, as an unorganized emission source
The key is the steam operating pressure used in the jet pump.
40 meters in height is no problem for steam; there is basically no pressure loss. The performance of a steam ejector depends on its design and selection; it is sufficient to provide the pressure and temperature of the high-pressure steam, as well as those of the sulfur steam
