Molten Sulfur Containment Structure Assessment and Repair Services

Deterioration and damage to subsurface molten sulfur containment structures, including trenches, sumps and pits, can impact the safety and operations within sulfur recovery units. Problems, if left unaddressed, can become structural in nature, diminishing the integrity of the molten sulfur containment structure.

Structural Preservation Systems (SPS) has successfully completed numerous molten sulfur containment structure repair projects throughout North America. SPS applies technical know-how and industry-leading experience to develop new ways to extend the life of these containment structures.

From minor repairs to major structural projects, including the installation of engineered structural liners, we utilize an innovative Design–Build approach, extensively preplanning all aspects of the repair strategy in order to provide you with the best solution.

Whether the repair must be completed during a scheduled unit outage or as the result of an unexpected event, our teams of specialists, trained in safety and specialized systems, can work around the clock, 365 days a year, to safely complete projects under the tightest schedules and toughest working conditions.

Fire Hazard
Hydrocarbon Engineering, January 2004
In petrochemical facilities, fires when they occur, develop quickly into "pool fires", rapidly reaching 2,000oF (1,100oC) in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, unprotected structural steel members lose about ½ their strength at 1,000oF (538oC) and rapidly loses more strength as the temperature rises.
