BRE 700: Lecture Series – Sulphur Recovery

This lecture series discusses sulfur recovery units (SRUs) and tail gas cleanup unit (TGCU) methods. The operating principles of these units will be presented and modeled in ProMax, as well as an exploration of the rationale for common variations seen in these process units. Access to ProMax is not needed for this session. The lecture series is hosted over MS Teams, and information on how to connect to the session will be provided after registration. For more information about a particular BRE 700: Lecture Series course please Contact Training.

Prerequisites:

• None

Methods:

• Instructor-led demonstrations

Agenda

• Sulfur Recovery Unit- Straight Through – A basic Claus unit. Provides a review of modeling in ProMax and teaches how to fully specify an SRU model using Gibbs Minimization-type reactors. Reviews various simulation methods and ProMax calculators.
• Kinetic Furnace and Claus Bed Modeling – Introduction to the kinetic reaction modeling techniques used to model the Reaction Furnace and Claus Beds in ProMax.
• Irregular Feeds – The class will discuss the effects of SRU feeds that are lean in H2S, have NH3 present, high hydrocarbon content (BTEX), and have a high water content. Attendees will learn how to model corrections for these issues in ProMax.
• Tail Gas Treating – This topic covers technologies used in amine-based H2S recycle methods (e.g. Beavon Sulfur Removal units and SCOT® units).
