What are the main causes of overheating in Claus reactors? How to handle it? The main reason is that the sulfur adsorbed on the catalyst comes into contact with oxygen and catches fire. Treatment: 1) Reduce the air supply volume and adjust the ratio of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide ; 2) Nitrogen or steam should be injected at the reactor inlet to control temperature; it is preferable to use steam for temperature control in order to prevent carbon deposition.

What are the main causes of overheating in Claus reactors? How to handle it? The main reason for overheating in the Klaus reactor is the ignition and combustion of sulfur adsorbed on the catalyst upon contact with oxygen. Handling of overheating in the Klaus reactor: (1) Reduce the air supply volume and adjust the ratio of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide ; (2) Nitrogen or steam is injected at the reactor inlet.

The most likely cause is peroxide; adjust the air distribution

The main cause of overheating in the Klaus reactor is peroxides. This usually occurs when the plant is shut down for sulfur blowing; the reactor inlet is typically supplied with cooling steam and nitrogen.
