Acidic water components in sulfur recovery units
Thread Content
The acidic waters from sulfur recovery units are divided into hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated types; what are their main components respectively? Is it highly corrosive? Is there a problem with 321 for reboilers?
It is mainly hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and carbon dioxide; the higher the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, the greater the corrosivity. Reboilers are generally made of carbon steel.
