Tail gas from a Claus sulphur recovery plant containing H2S and SO2 is completely oxidized thermally or catalytically to SO2. The hot SO2 gas is then cooled by a DynaWave® Wet Scrubber and gas cooling tower, and submicron acid mist is removed by the Brink® Mist Eliminator.
After passing through the ClausMaster SO2 physical absorbent, clean gas exits the stack and the SO2 is stripped from the SO2 laden absorbent in the stripping tower. Concentrated SO2 is recycled back to the Claus sulphur recovery plant where it is converted to sulphur.
The recycled SO2 reduces the air and fuel requirements for a typical Claus plant and H2S tail gas system.
