CS Combustion Solutions outlines retrofit options that use improved atomisation, air-side mixing and modular burner inserts to boost sulphur furnace reliability, flexibility and capacity with minimal equipment changes.

In a submerged condenser, not all vapours should condense. A residual vapour phase is needed to maintain a high heat-transfer coefficient, while inert gases must also be accommodated. The following round table discussion highlights the practical challenges associated with operating an LPCC.

Any leak in high-pressure urea equipment is critical, as corrosive ammonium carbamate can attack the carbon steel pressure-bearing parts – including the vessel wall and tubesheets – and may ultimately lead to catastrophic rupture. The image shows corrosion of a carbon steel tubesheet in a falling film high-pressure carbamate condenser caused by a leak at the tube-to-tubesheet weld.

Shane Le Capitaine, Process Sales Engineer, FEECO International, provides a practical guide to rotary dryer efficiency at potash plants.

In an industrial test campaign, Linde has successfully demonstrated that an existing Linde Ammonia Concept (LAC™ ) plant equipped with a state-of-the-art Casale axial radial converter can be stably operated at 10% load for more than 24 hours.

With the delivery of ten sulphuric acid pumps and a mobile tank drainage pump for a large zinc smelter in Central Asia, Rheinhütte Pumpen highlights its expertise in handling highly concentrated sulphuric acid – from alloy development and engineering to comprehensive testing on one of the most advanced pump test stands in the world.

Liquid sulphur is a critical industrial feedstock, but its safe transfer is technically demanding. Dickow Pumpen maintains that reliable handling depends on a whole-system approach – integrating heating, piping, sealing, and operating procedures.

Topsoe explains how to avoid challenges and choose the optimal solutions for e-methanol plants based on CO2 feedstocks, electrolytic hydrogen and renewable power.

MAIRE’s technology arm NEXTCHEM has secured its largest contract to date, a €485 million ($563 million) package to license technologies...

Begg Cousland Envirotec reviews different mist eliminator types and some of the operational problems encountered which can be managed by correct installation, targeted cleaning or replacement, and selecting appropriate corrosion-resistant materials.
