Worley Comprimo, in partnership with BASF, has been awarded a contract to deliver engineering and licensing services for integrated gas treatment technology and sulphur recovery units at Oman’s Budour Tayseer Gas Project. The project is designed to produce 2 million scf/d of sweet gas, 950 m³/day of condensate, and 80 t/d of sulphur. It aims to strengthen Oman’s energy infrastructure by ensuring a reliable domestic gas supply under a design-build-own-operate-maintain framework, while supporting in-country value initiatives.

Fluor discusses the unique challenges associated with transporting liquid sulphur through pipelines and presents key design considerations and operational strategies that enable safe, continuous and reliable long-distance operation.

Gas processing facilities are increasingly required to reduce industrial carbon footprint. A significant opportunity lies in recovering CO2 from tail-end gas streams that are typically routed to thermal oxidation. MAIRE Group presents an integrated recovery configuration combining cryogenic separation with pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to recover high purity CO2 and H2 from SRU/TGTU tail gas.

Saudi Aramco is reportedly considering the sale of a stake in its sulphur business as the state-controlled energy group expands a wider drive to unlock cash from infrastructure assets and support Saudi Arabia’s investment-heavy economic transformation. The potential transaction, known internally as Project Yellowstone, could raise as much as $7 billion and would cover assets […]

Multiphase multiphysics simulation-based analysis of an industrial-scale Claus catalytic reactor predicts improved performance resulting from the inclusion of inlet flow deflection plates.

Rising hydrogen sulphide levels from souring reservoirs and high-sulphur crude oils are turning sulphur recovery units into major throughput bottlenecks in both gas plants and refineries. Bryan Research & Engineering presents oxygen enrichment as a practical debottlenecking strategy, with water electrolysis – especially alkaline water electrolysis and, to a lesser extent, solid oxide electrolysis – offering promising oxygen supply options.

Sour gas production is costly because hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide require extensive sweetening, sulphur recovery, safety, and compliance infrastructure, with sulphur sales helping offset but rarely eliminating those added costs.

ADNOC Gas has outlined a staged recovery plan for its Habshan complex after April attacks and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while reporting sharply stronger sulphur earnings on the back of firm prices and resilient output elsewhere in its network.

The 8th SulGas® Mumbai sulphur recovery and gas treating conference and exhibition, organised by Three Ten Initiative Technologies LLP, took place on 5 and 6 February 2026. We report on some of the key topics on the agenda.

Efficient sulphur recovery is essential for modern refineries to meet stringent environmental regulations and support sustainability goals. Fluor examines the key design considerations, smart design strategies and flexible sulphur block configurations that are essential in achieving an overall optimised design. Together, these strategies enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, improve reliability, and provide flexibility for changing crude qualities, ensuring compliant and economically robust refinery operations.
