Selection of liquid sulfur pumps and manufacturers
Thread Content
What type of pump is generally chosen for transporting liquid sulfur out of the liquid sulfur tank? Long-shaft submersible pump? Horizontal centrifugal pump? Screw pump? What are the respective advantages and disadvantages? Which manufacturers exist, and do they have proven track records?
Shipment. It’s quite far, about 2 km.
Long-shaft submersible pumps are commonly used for liquid sulfur pumps! But each maintenance task is quite troublesome, as a crane is needed to lift the pump out!
What is the maximum head? What is the maximum flow rate?

Have you used horizontal centrifugal pumps to transport liquid sulfur? Are there any recommended pump manufacturers in China? I consulted with some pump manufacturers, and basically all of them offer submersible pumps.
We had been using submersible pumps in the past, but starting in March of this year we switched to twin-screw liquid sulfur pumps. These pumps exhibit low vibration and temperature levels, and their maintenance is simple and convenient. It can be transported over long distances, but the flow rate cannot be too high. The twin screws can be worn down by sulfur particles.
You can get in touch with Feiye Taiklein pumps in Germany to check them out.

Liquid sulfur tanks generally have a double-layer structure, with steam supplied to the interlayer. Typically, two holes are provided at the top of the liquid sulfur tank for installing submersible pumps, and the intermediate tube connected to these pumps is also equipped with a jacket filled with steam for heating purposes! ! A lifting hole must be provided at the top of the submersible pump to provide space for maintaining the pump! ! The export pipelines are all heated using jackets with steam; it is best to keep them as close as possible to the granulator to facilitate the transfer of the granules! It is best to have one granulator in operation and one as a backup! ! ! The service life of the conveyor belt in a granulator is generally 1 year to 1.5 years! In my opinion, it is best to use single-stage horizontal centrifugal pumps for liquid sulfur transfer. A steam jacketed stop valve should be installed at the bottom of the liquid sulfur tank, and the centrifugal pumps should also be equipped with steam jackets for heating; this helps to extend the pump’s service life and reduce maintenance costs! ! But the initial equipment procurement cost is higher than that of submersible pumps! !
