Bottom burner synthesis has several advantages versus top burner synthesis:
the HCl solution is collected in the bottom section and sent to a tank using booster pump.
If the pump stops, it is necessary to shut off the synthesis unit to avoid flooding of the bottom section of the synthesis.
For top burner furnace, the HCl produced falls by gravity from the absorption section and is thus collected in the storage tanks. The absence of pumps makes it possible to avoid frequent shut-off of the synthesis unit.
In case of a mechanical failure of the top burner, the burner would fall from a great height and potentially damage the top absorption block. This safety hazard is eliminated in ECARB’s bottom burner design.
Monitoring and maintenance of these devices placed at a high elevation (like it is in top burner design) is complicated, dangerous and uncomfortable for operators and fitters. ECARB’s proven bottom burner design facilitates these controls at ground level enhancing safety and operational convenience of the unit.
