Select Foster Wheeler Sulfur Recovery technology to improve refinery and gas plant operability and maintenance
Our Sulfur Recovery technology is used to treat gas streams containing Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) for the purpose of reducing the sulfur content of fuel products and to recover a saleable sulfur by-product. The technology includes a sulfur recovery section based on the Claus process, an amine-based tail-gas treating section, an incinerator with waste heat recovery, and a proprietary acid gas burner design.
Cost effective designs customized to meet specific requirements
Our sulfur recovery technology offers cost-effective designs with enhanced operability features. Included in the proprietary technology is a Claus unit burner that is capable of destroying ammonia up to 25 mole % in the SRU feed, and providing low level oxygen enrichment up to 28 mole %. The units can be configured to deliver overall sulfur recovery efficiencies ranging from 96% to 99.95%, whereas efficiencies of other sulfur removal technology, for Claus type units, trend a bit lower.

- Wide-ranging operability and ease of maintenance
Working with our Experts
Our personnel employed at the Foster Wheeler Salt Lake City office are knowledgeable in the design of SRU unit operations, including Claus units, tail gas treating units, tail gas incinerators, sulfur storage, sulfur degassing, sulfur pit vent disposition, sour liquid or gas amine absorbers, amine regenerators, sour water strippers, sulfur condensers, and waste heat boilers, as well as hazardous waste incineration, natural gas processing, and general refinery unit operations.
Global outreach
This sulfur technology is currently operating all over the world. Currently, we are supporting two startups in Spain and performing engineering of sulfur recovery units for two refineries in South America, each with an MDEA amine tail gas treating unit followed by tail gas incineration.
