The problem of clogged flow lines
Thread Content
If the flow lines of the collector become blocked, this can be resolved by increasing the temperature of the heat trace; if the issue persists, then the method of pressurizing the tank must be employed. I’m not sure what \"pressurizing the tank\" means or how it works
I wonder what source you are referring to? In my opinion, pressurizing the tank refers to filling the catcher with nitrogen to increase the pressure and thus force the liquid sulfur out of it.
In cases of severe blockages, mechanical methods are generally used for clearing them. If mechanical cleaning is not possible due to issues with the pipelines or equipment, it is recommended to use superheated steam for cleaning; I’ve found this method to be very effective.
It is recommended to use steam; it works fine in most cases!
If that doesn’t work, replace the defoamer. Add more coils.
The superheated steam works quite well. . . .
The liquid sulfur pipeline can also be given a certain inclination to facilitate the flow of liquid sulfur
