valve train for #6 oil
(OP)
Hi,
Somebody have the suggested viscosity (SSU) at the oil valve train inlet of a thermal oxidizer? A supplier told me to supply him 100 SSU at the inlet of the valve train. For my part, if i required 100 SSU at the burner, 100 SSU at the beginning of the valve train is too much
Thanks

If its pressure atomisation, then the lower the SSU the better will be the flame quality.
Confirm if its a primary fuel source of the incinerator.

Heavy Oil is hard to burn - it is messy and difficult to work with if you do not have it all right. The temp of the oil can vary a little but I suggest that you set it up get it burning cleanly and then try lowering the temperature. At each interval record temperatures, flows, pressures etc. If no smoke is present then try lowering the temp a little more.
Note these conditions will change in the winter months if you have cold weather - heavy oil requires heat tracing and good insulation. You do not want to be called, in the early morning hours to try and get one of these going in the cold weather!
Good Luck!
