Questions about sulfur recovery sulfur production furnaces
Thread Content
Why is 1.1 Mpa steam used for the accident steam in the sulfur production furnace of sulfur recovery units? Instead of something else like 0.3 Mpa? Could some expert help answer this?
The high temperature allows the generation of steam pressure.
Typically, the steam at 1.1 MPa in pipeline systems is superheated steam, whereas the steam at 0.3 MPa is saturated steam. If saturated steam is used as the accident steam, a large amount of water may be carried in, which can easily damage the furnace lining.
The moisture content of steam at 1.1 MPa is different from that of steam at 0.3 MPa
It’s mainly temperature and moisture content.
What is this steam in the accident mentioned by the poster? I don’t have any here
On the acidic gas line of the burner, we usually don’t use it either; we just know it is used to prevent carbon deposition when burning gas together
