MOLTEN SULPHUR The discharge lines from the wells deliver the sulphur into sumps at collecting stations which are located near the area being "steamed." The sump is dimensioned to suit operating conditions, as well as the number of wells supplying sulphur. Cast iron has been found the most suitable material for lining the sump, a n d for the steam coils on the bottom a n d at the sides which keep the sulphur in a liquid state. When the sump is reasonably full, pumps force the liquid sulphur through insulated pipe lines to the vats. The pumps are especially designed for this service, the moving parts being either submerged in liquid sulphur or steam-jacketed.
