how to empty - out the sulfur pit

[assaad1962]

Hi
we are going to have shutdown for our sulfur plant i want to know how to empty out our sulfur pit and if you have any good procedure how shut the unit

apart from pumping as much sulfur out of the pit as you can, shut off the main compressure, close your steam header valve, shut off the dilution water, etc.

Pit cleaning is a pretty much a manual scraping exercise not only for the sulfur but also the carsul, and other sediments.

you should have an operating manual that covers those details. if not then you can contact the original designer of your plant to get a copy. If that is not a viable option, then contact one of the acid plant designers (your cooler supplier can help) and they'll sort one out for you.
