Abstract
A header design for an efficient single pass enlargement process of sulfur granules having two internal piping structures within an external header conduit for delivering separate molten sulfur liquid streams to different sets of nozzles, wherein a first set of nozzles is subjected to flow streams and pressures uniquely different from a second set of nozzles. A water header design may also include two internal piping structures inside an external pipe casing for delivering water in at least two sets of nozzles, wherein the first set is subjected to flow streams and pressures different from the second set. A method of sulfur seed generation and sulfur granule enlargement for processing sulfur, employing a unique sulfur header design with dual internal piping structures, and possibly utilizing in tandem a water header design having a dual internal piping structure for feeding two sets of nozzles.
