Abstract
A sulfur particulates remover is provided for removing sulfur particulates from gaseous streams generated in sulfur storage tanks and other types of sulfur containers and carriers. More than 90% of the sulfur particulates are easily removed in most cases. The sulfur particulates remover comprises a conical or prismatic shell structure equipped with vibrators, a cover plate and a stack or similar venting means. A deflector may be mounted inside the shell structure. This system is typically installed on the roof of a liquid sulfur storage tank, pit or other sulfur container using conventional hardware. The lower portion of the particulates remover is preferably a substantially round pipe to which a conical upper portion is attached by welding means or by means of bolts or a support flange. No steam, cooling water or any other external-source heating or cooling is necessary in the operation of the system.
