The waste heat boiler (WHB) is arguably the most fragile part of an sulfur recovery unit (SRU) and is subject to sudden and very costly failure. The most common failure is the tube to tubesheet joint where temperature can become unacceptably high, causing the welds to fracture and the joints to fail.
Read MoreThe sulfur recovery unit (SRU) separates sulfur from sulfur compounds. Within the SRU, a waste heat boiler (WHB) produces high-pressure steam, using the heat generated in this process. Since it operates in a high-temperature, high-hydrogen sulfide (H2S) environment, the WHB tube is often corroded by

Read MoreThe convective elements of boilers fired by municipal industrial or other waste materials are often referred to as heat recovery boilers although, apart from their geometry, they are more akin to the rear end of a furnace-fired boiler. Perhaps the most common heat recovery boiler is now the gas turbine heat recovery boiler.

Read MoreWaste Heat Boiler The boiler is a heat transfer device. There will be too much surface area within the boiler to maintain the original design outlet temperature. If the outlet temperature drops below the sulfur dew point of the boiler outlet stream, the sulfur will be condensed within the boiler. Some boilers have sulfur rundown legs and some
