Why does our sulfur recovery unit have fire suppression steam only in the sulfur recovery flue gas absorption tower?
Thread Content
Why is there fire suppression steam on each floor of only the exhaust gas absorption tower at our sulfur recovery site, but not in the other towers? What exactly is this function for, and when is it used? I saw many reports online about desulfurization towers catching fire; is there any connection between them?
It catches fire easily; the oxygen level is too high, and there are combustible gases everywhere. When the temperature reaches a certain level, an accident occurs, so it’s necessary to have
Could you provide relevant data to support your claim? :handshake
Exhaust gas absorption towers that are equipped with wet electrostatic precipitators usually come with fire-suppression steam; what was said about flammable gases upstairs is a bit exaggerated. . . That proves your burners aren’t working properly; the oxygen content doesn’t increase significantly, whether it’s in the Claus process or in the wet acid production method. Generally, tail scrubber towers are made of steel towers with a fiberglass lining, or they are entirely made of fiberglass; in high-temperature conditions, they may catch fire. Between 2017 and 2018, the desulfurization towers caught fire more than 10 times, and in most cases this was caused by welding operations during construction or renovation
