What could low sulfonator injector vacuum readings indicate?

Low sulfonator injector vacuum readings typically indicate that there is a low flow of injector water. The sulfonation process often relies on a steady and adequate flow of water to create the necessary vacuum that draws in the chemical solution into the injector. When the water flow is insufficient, the vacuum level drops, which can lead to a variety of operational issues, such as incomplete mixing or ineffective sulfonation.

While there could be other reasons for low vacuum readings, such as clogged lines or chemical concentration issues, the most immediate and direct cause is often related to water flow. Ensuring an adequate supply of water helps maintain the proper suction needed for the sulfonator to function effectively, which is essential for achieving the desired treatment levels and operational efficiency.
