Analysing COS and CS2 in a modern SRU
Maximising sulphur recovery in a modified Claus SRU/TGTU requires controlling and monitoring COS and CS2. Leveraging decades of monitoring experience, AMETEK Process Instruments discusses the formation, impact and monitoring of COS and CS2.
Nitricity raises $50M to go global
Nitricity has secured $50 million in funding and commenced building a liquid fertilizer production plant in Delhi, California.
Neutralisation of heat stable salts – Part 1
Joel Cantrell of Bryan Research & Engineering and Clay Jones of INEOS GAS/SPEC re-evaluate the historical practice of intentionally adding strong base such as caustic (NaOH) to amine with the purpose of improving performance and reducing corrosion by “neutralising” heat stable amine salts (HSAS) which have accumulated in the amine.
Platinum-catalysed conversion of sulphur species
Platinum-promoted honeycomb catalyst bricks offer function as total oxidation catalysts that convert all oxidisable species under appropriate temperature and oxygen conditions. P&P Industries presents a case for a H2S-rich gas stream – relevant to the fibre industry, Claus offgas treatment, and other chemical sectors.
Sulphur pit turnaround and rehabilitation
A full sulphur pit turnaround and rehabilitation is typically a once in a lifetime experience for refinery personnel. Specialists in sulphur pit turnarounds, Gavin Palmer of Brindley Engineering, Tom Kline and Bob Hall of Structural Technologies have compiled a database based on multiple sulphur pit turnarounds to identify typical deficiencies in mechanical systems, along with improvements to enhance operability, restore functionality and meet all codes/standards and best practices.
SRU optimisation through continuous monitoring
Continuous monitoring of sulphur recovery units (SRUs) has proven to be an excellent tool for energy optimisation and emissions reduction, yielding financial incentives in the form of CO2 credits and sustainability. Even in markets with limited CO2 credits, significant economic benefits can still be realised through reduction in utility consumption, as demonstrated by a recent collaboration between Worley Comprimo and PRefChem in Malaysia.
