Brindley Engineering’s Gavin Palmer, along with Tom Kline from Structural Technologies, will be co-presenting at The 32nd Brimstone Sulfur Symposium.

How many refinery facilities can say they have the luxury of prior experience when entering a Sulfur pit for turnaround? Those attending The Brimstone Sulfur Symposium in Vail, Colorado September 8-12 will soon find out! Brindley Engineering’s Gavin Palmer along with Tom Kline from Structural Technologies, will be co-speaking at the Symposium.
Their talk is titled: Once in a lifetime? Common deficiencies with Sulfur pit mechanical installations, and potential for their remediation during a pit turnaround.
Co-presenters: Gavin Palmer, Brindley Engineering, Lisle IL and Tom Kline, Structural Technologies, Schiller Park IL.
Brindley Engineering, in partnership with Structural Technologies, has been involved in upwards of thirty Sulfur pit turnarounds in the past 7-8 years alone. During this time a database of common deficiencies has been compiled to assist in execution of future pit turnarounds, whether it be due to poor initial design or installation, changes in codes / standards / best practices, operational changes etc.
The talk will cover:
- Reduction in pit size due to concrete liner dimensions
- Sulfur rundown piping to pit and Sulfur seals
- Steam coil design
- Air sweep – eductor(s) and air inlet(s)
- Instrumentation
- Snuffing steam
About The Brimstone Sulfur Symposium: The Brimstone Sulfur Symposium is widely recognized as a highly interactive and productive annual gathering for discussion of sulfur recovery and gas treating. The goal of the conference is to provide information aimed at improving the operating reliability, efficiency, and safety of sulfur processing units while minimizing operational costs.
The symposium takes the form of organized presentations and panel discussions by industry experts from operating companies, academia, and suppliers of products and services. In addition to the presentations and panels, each daily session will include one or more open-floor question-and-answer periods.
