Problem of elevated temperature in sulfur startup converter

When the sulfur plant is put into operation, it is necessary to heat up the converter, as the converter needs to reach a certain temperature during operation in order to catalyze reactions effectively. The temperature in the combustion furnace reaching over 800 degrees is based on the thermodynamic requirements of the reaction; only under high-temperature conditions can the converter exert its catalytic effect fully. The heating effect of the converter at low temperatures is poor, failing to meet the process requirements. The heating of the converter is achieved through the heat generated by the combustion furnace. The combustion furnace generates high-temperature flue gas by burning fuel; this flue gas passes through the converter, transferring heat to it and causing its temperature to rise gradually. After absorbing heat, the converter’s internal catalyst becomes more active, thereby enabling subsequent reactions to proceed efficiently. In summary, the heating process of the converter requires the temperature in the combustion furnace to reach a certain high level; this is necessary to meet the thermodynamic requirements of the reaction as well as the activity requirements of the catalyst, thereby ensuring that the converter can function properly. .

When the combustion furnace is at over 300 degrees, introduce the flue gas into the converter, and then gradually increase the temperature of the combustion furnace; in this way, the temperature of the converter will also rise gradually. Is it okay to proceed in this manner?

At this time, the burner has less gas; a higher temperature ensures complete combustion of the gas, and it prevents carbon buildup in the bed as the converter heats up
