Keeping proper records of data tracking is more beneficial for the operation of desulfurization units

As an energy and environmental protection technology company, each set of hydrogen sulfide treatment and sulfur recovery systems represents valuable intangible assets. The operational data provided a solid foundation for technical improvements, assisted in problem analysis, and enabled the tracing of the origins of such problems. For each set of equipment, it is necessary to keep track of daily data, monitor every parameter adjustment and optimization, understand the changes before and after such adjustments, determine whether the operating trend is positive or negative, and predict and control it in advance. The key data that need to be monitored include: 1. The volume of feed gas and the hydrogen sulfide concentration at the inlet and outlet of the unit. These values are used to assess the efficiency of desulfurization and the amount of sulfur produced. When there are fluctuations in the hydrogen sulfide concentration at the outlet, it is necessary to identify the cause promptly and take appropriate action ； 2. The purpose of monitoring the sulfur output of the unit is to determine whether sulfur production is balanced, based on the amount of sulfur generated by the unit. If this balance is not maintained over time, sulfur will accumulate within the unit, and measures need to be taken to increase sulfur output. 3. Overall liquid level of the device: The liquid level provides an intuitive indication of changes in the amount of liquid stored inside the device. If the liquid level in various components of the device shows an upward trend over time, it indicates an imbalance in the device’s water balance; in such cases, it is necessary to reduce the amount of water added or adjust the temperature to lower the liquid level and maintain a stable water balance. 4. Specific gravity of the solution: The specific gravity indicates whether the concentration of the desulfurization liquid is increasing or decreasing. Under normal conditions, it remains stable within a certain range; if it rises suddenly and rapidly on a continuous basis, it is necessary to analyze the specific reasons by considering water balance and sulfur production ； If the water balance is normal and sulfur production is normal, it may be that unstable operation has led to an increase in side reactions, posing a risk of the accumulation of by-products; in such cases, a case-by-case analysis is required. In actual production, there is a great deal of information and data that needs to be tracked. In subsequent projects, we will design Internet of Things systems for signal transmission and collection based on specific requirements, in order to monitor ongoing projects in real time and provide better services to our customers.
