Regarding the deployment of sulfur guns and the level of sulfur atomization pressure
Thread Content
In larger sulfuric acid plants, there is usually more than one sulfonation gun; for example, our facility has three such guns. Most of the time, it operates at around 70% load; perhaps two sulfur guns will be sufficient for this purpose. In such a case, is it more reasonable to use both guns at full capacity, or to use all three guns but not at 100% capacity? The atomization of sulfur in a sulfide gun certainly requires a certain pressure level; there is generally a minimum requirement for this pressure, but no clear specification exists for an upper limit. Will a higher pressure result in better atomization? Also, if the manual valve in front of the sulfide gun is not fully open, the pressure before the valve does not reflect the pressure during atomization. I would like to ask everyone how they control this situation; let’s discuss it together.
If the valve in front of the gun is not fully open, the pressure gauge on the pipeline does not reflect the pressure of the gun.
The production capacity of each unit varies, as does the atomization effect of the sulfonation gun; it’s difficult to draw a definite conclusion regarding pressure control, but a relatively higher pressure leads to better atomization. The atomization effect of the sulfur gun under different pressures can be observed through a viewfinder, and it is determined whether adding more sulfur guns yields observable results.
We also have three sulfide guns, with two currently in use. Relatively speaking, a higher pressure results in a better atomization effect; we require that another sulfonate gun be used when the pressure is above 1.3 MP. If the manual valve in front of the sulfide gun is not fully open, the pressure during atomization is different from the pressure in front of the valve.
