    OTHER PROCESSES FOR SULFUR RECOVERY

  • REDOX PROCESS - LO-CAT PROCESS

  • REDOX PROCESS - LO-CAT PROCESS Plant : Suncors Spirit River Facility Technology : Merichem - Gas Technology Products Plant Capacity : 2.19 TPD 57.5 % H2S in Acid Gas Feed Recovery 99.99 %

  • REDOX PROCESS - LO-CAT PROCESSMERITS Very low chemical operating costs. Ideal for treating Amine acid gas & SWS gas streams

    DEMERITS Contaminants like SO2 may escape Relatively high capital and operating costs The product is not saleable Operating problems like plugging, foaming, corrosion & sulfur not settling Frequent operator intervention to maintain quality of additive chemicals

  • SHELL-PAQUES / THIOPAQ PROCESS

  • SHELL-PAQUES / THIOPAQ PROCESS Plant : Alexandria Mineral Oil Co, Egypt Technology : Shell Plant Capacity : 13 TPD 93.3 % H2S in Acid Gas Feed Recovery 99 % +

  • SHELL-PAQUES / THIOPAQ PROCESSMERITS

    The selectivity for the conversion of H2S to elemental sulfur by the bacteria is very high;less than 3% sulfate is formed Low chemical costs Minimum operator attention is required Less no. of equipments so low capital cost No plugging & fouling problems DEMERITS

    Competitive in the range of 100 kg and 15 tones of sulfur recovered per day

  • CRYSTASULF PROCESS

  • CRYSTASULF PROCESS Plant : Pilot Unit Installed at West Texas Technology : CrystaTech Plant Capacity : 2.7 TPD 13 % H2S in Acid Gas Feed Recovery 99.8 %

  • CRYSTASULF PROCESSMERITS

    Wide range of acceptable equipments Low Capital cost High boiling stable solvents

    DEMERITS
