Discussion on issues with torch water seal tanks
Thread Content
What are the problems with using a water seal tank for flares emitting combustible gases containing ammonia (6%(v))? What optimization measures can be set?
A large portion of the ammonia is absorbed by water; if hydrogen sulfide is also present, it is very likely that an ammonium hydrosulfide corrosion solution will form, leading to corrosion. Additionally, the temperature required for ammonia combustion is quite high; the temperature of your combustible gas emission flare may not be sufficient to meet the conditions for ammonia combustion. Short-term emissions aren’t a problem; no action is needed.
It still depends on the composition of the gas he releases, and whether its calorific value is sufficient. Furthermore, ammonia-containing exhaust gases passing through a water seal tank will inevitably produce large amounts of ammonia water, which poses certain difficulties in wastewater treatment
