Sulfur regeneration tower flooding
Thread Content
The sulfur regeneration tower is equipped with a lean liquid and semi-lean liquid stream for feeding into the absorption tower, but flooding of the regeneration tower occurs frequently; any good solutions?
Please provide detailed information on the production load, steam consumption, as well as the top pressure, low pressure, top temperature, and bottom temperature, so that we can give you appropriate advice
Amine solution foaming? Excessive impurities in the rich amine solution, an inappropriate concentration of the amine solution, or degradation of the amine solution due to high temperatures can all cause foaming in the amine solution. Since the situation is unclear, these are the only things that come to mind.
Analyze the solvent to see if it’s caused by an excess of thermally stable salts!
It is recommended not to use defoamers casually, as excessive use will accelerate foaming
