What is the steam pressure for heating the sulfur deaerator? Bonus points
Thread Content
The deionized water used in the deaerator of the sulfur plant is heated by steam at 1.0 MPa; can it be heated using steam at 0.3 MPa instead? The deaerator is on a platform 30 meters high
I don’t think temperature is the issue; the key problem is that when the pressure drops, there will be problems with the water pressure in your downstream equipment.
0.35 Mpa steam can be used; the height of the deaerator only needs to meet the requirements imposed by the self-pressure of the steam return water. 30 Mpa, which is equivalent to 3 kilograms of pressure, is a bit too high. If a 0.35 Mpa steam supply is used for the reboiler in the regeneration tower, it may be difficult to obtain the necessary steam return water.
Sure! Does your deaerator rely on self-pressure or a deaeration water pump?
It’s possible; theoretically, 0.3–0.4 MPa is a good range. The key is to determine whether your equipment and pipes can withstand such pressure.
