    Sulfur Mist Removal

    Sorry for the slow response - I was on vacation. The mesh pad that is used in traditional SRU final condenser is horizontal - some earlier designs had 45 degree applications that were notorious for failure. The pad is York Style 326 which is a woven stainless mesh about 15cm thick. It can be...

    Sulfur Mist Removal

    Is this the tail gas from an SRU that you are sending directly to a packed bed - if so what is the packed bed? Normally if the SRU condenser has been designed properly and is operated at the correct mass velocities, entrainment of S should not be a problem - inclusion of a York style horizontal...

    treatment of sour gas from sour water stripper

    Burning the sour water stripper off-gas in an incinerator or heater may be a solution in some countries, but in most countries is now not an option because of the amount of H2S associated with this stream (typically 33%). This H2S has to be recovered as S in the SRU. There are ways to handle...

    Acid gas flare

    Where are you located that you are allowed to flare AG? Is this on a regular or continuous basis? AG is difficult to burn completely to SO2 in a flare situation - you need a combustion chamber to effectively oxidise the H2S. The problem is that you are not burning the AG completely as it...

    Oxygen enrichment in sulfur plant

    There are more than 100 applications of O2 enrichment that have been instigated in SRUs in the past 10 years - most are low level O2 enrichment but some have gone as far as 100% O2. The beauty of O2 enrichment is that you only use it when you need it (i.e. high load situation). O2 in...

    treatment of sour gas from sour water stripper

    Plugging is a common problem often overcome by raising the temperature of all equipment in the train above 155C, however, this is only a band-aid solution. The key is the RF temperature and the two patents on the process cite 1250C as the required temperature. Every burner and RF has its own...
