The Parsons packaged-plant concept is applicable to plants ranging from a few tons per day in capacity to more than 100 tons per day. Many can be built to the same drawings, a substantial saving in itself. Prefabrication of these plants includes not only process piping but all auxiliary piping, drains, installations, utility piping, power and lighting, and instrumentation wiring. The compact size of plants and components is a major factor in the low operation costs of these plants, which can be much less than those of large custom-designed units. Further advantages are gained by integration of components in packaged facilities, regardless of capacity, resulting in fewer equipment elements to operate and maintain. An outstanding feature of these plants is the fact that smaller sizes can easily be made portable. Those traveling skid-mounted sulfur plants appear ideal in areas where the plant may be needed for only a few years, where field fabrication is impractical, or in other situations where a movable or temporary plant is advantageous.
