SxView™ Sulfur Sight Port
Safe flow confirmation in Sulfur Recovery Unit rundown lines
For many years, refineries and gas plants have employed methods for viewing liquid sulfur flow through their rundown lines, including look boxes and various sight glass devices. Standard look box designs require the operator to open a hatch door to view the liquid sulfur running through the piping. This activity potentially exposes the operator to H2S vapor and/or liquid sulfur spray. To limit operator exposure risks, many attempts at closed sulfur viewing devices using sight glass ports have been introduced. The common issue with those devices, however, is fogging of the sight glass which hinders visibility of the liquid sulfur flow.
