The liquid in the torch acid gas separation tank contains a high amount of sulfur
Thread Content
The acidic gas flare tower is in use; the acidic gas separation tank has a capacity of 1.16 cubic meters, with inlet and outlet pipes of DN80 diameter. The amount of acidic gas emitted is low. At present, the drain outlet of the acidic gas separation tank is blocked by solid sulfur, making it difficult to deal with this issue. The pipe running from the outlet of the separation tank to the inlet of the condensate transfer pump is also blocked by sulfur. Why is there so much sulfur? How can a clogged pipeline be cleared (all pipelines have 45° elbows)?
The cause needs to be found in the device that discharges acidic gas; otherwise, it will still get clogged. Check the acidic gas emission pipeline; it’s likely that there’s a considerable amount of sulfur deposited inside it as well.
It is still necessary to find the root cause in order to solve the problem fundamentally. If the pipe is blocked, it can be cleared by cutting it into sections at the blockages
The torch is a safety device, and frequent blockages can pose safety risks; it is recommended to install a simple desulfurization unit before it. A specific analysis for specific operating conditions – hope this can help you.
What kind of process generates the gases you emit?
Pay attention to cleaning the flame arrester; it is very likely to get clogged
The flame arrester is clogged, so a bypass has been used.
The bypass does not have a flame arrestor function; be careful regarding emission safety
Look for the reason in your process. It is difficult to come up with accurate solutions when others are unaware of the production process and the materials involved
In addition to what was mentioned above, it is recommended to increase the frequency of regular purging.
