Analysis of leakage reasons and protective measures for three stage sulfur condenser in sulfur recovery unit
The corrosion of sulfur recovery apparatus was one of the important factors affecting the long-term and safe operation of the unit.The three-stage sulfur condenser leaked frequently due to various reasons such as manufacturing quality of equipment,poor quality of steam drum water,significant fluctuations in load,and corrosion during start-up and shutdown.In recent years,corrosion problem of the three-stage sulfur condenser was solved by quality monitoring of equipment manufacturing,quality control of furnace water to ensure good process anti-corrosion,stable production to reduce load fluctuations and proper protection of de-vices during start-up and shutdown periods.
