I am trying to understand the differences between unfired waste heat steam generators and fired boilers as it applies to a low water cutout requirement. NFPA requires a low water trip on all fired boilers, presumably due to the number of boilers that have exploded when water was lost. I can not...

Can anyone tell me if there is a mechanism for sodium to migrate from a heat stable salt in an MEA solution to a liquid particle in an acid gas stream leaving an amine regenerator tower? More specifically, I am wondering if there is a connection between a caustic (sodium hydroxide)incursion...
Has anyone experienced silica, alumina, or sodium leaching or volitizing out of newly installed hot face refractory in a fired furnace? We fouled a downstream waste heat boiler with a very fine, low density, thin ~1/32" coating that analyzes as Fe, Si, Al, Mn, Na, and other trace minerals. We...

Hi all, I am wondering if there are any "Rules of Thumb" with regards to sizing a plant air/compressed air receiver tank for a multitude of compressors. I have a system with a combined capacity of 10,000SCFM with a normal demand of 8000-9000SCFM, made up of 8 separate compressors, both fixed...
We have an ongoing problem with pit fires (as determined by rapid increase of SO2 in the incinerator stack analyzer) in our SRU sulfur pits and have had this problem since increasing the pump speed from 1800 to 3600rpm to produce enough head to supply a new out of pit degassing system. We know...
