What issues need to be considered for the long-distance transport of liquid sulfur? Should steam (jacket) heating be used, or spot heating?
Generally, jacketed steam pipes are used for transportation, and care is taken to add water supply at intervals.
Electric tracing is generally used for long-distance liquid sulfur transmission pipelines
For long-distance applications, electric heating is recommended as it is more stable. Steam heating can lead to dead zones, and the most important thing is to ensure proper hydrophobicity; however, there are many problems that can arise when it comes to the use of hydrophobic materials.
For long-distance transportation, electric heating is recommended; however, it is advised to strengthen regular maintenance!
