Abstract
This paper deals with the technology of storage and the conveying of liquid sulfur by pipeline. Due to its allotropic characteristic sulfur is a medium which cannot be compared to any other element. This results in tight specifications for all the components of the conveying and storage system for the liquid phase. Constructive solutions are represented by examples of two pipelines and a tank storage facility. One of the pipeline systems, which is 4 1/2″, 7 km long, is laid underground and the second, 2 1/2″, 6.5 km long pipeline is a surface installation. The tank storage facility consists of two 10,000 cubic meter tanks and it is equipped with corresponding handling facilities for storage and intermediate storage. Particular attention is given to the special features of the support, the heating and the design of the pumps.
