Hi Jones,

The other main consideration is at times these lines have to be removed and to be rodded or steam cleaned, if there is an accidental failure of the steam. It inviting trouble if you put them in narrow culvert. It is not advisable to bury them.

Regards,

GSN Murthy.

Hi JJ
because molten sulphur lines are normally steam sleeved, it is traditionally considered asking for trouble to bury them. If you run them in a sufficiently sized drained culvert, then no special requirements are necessary. Condensate return is the normal design driver. If you decide to bury them, then make sure that the steam traps can drain and you can get at them. Given the cost of culverts, and the reliability of sleeved pipe, I would give serious thought to burying. That's one opinion.

Cheers

Steve

I'm trying to find any experience of "below ground" (buried, culverted, trenched) molten sulphur pipelines. Can any body help?
