THERMAL STAGE
The minimum requirements for the Thermal Reactor in case of treatment of feedstock which contains impurities are:
Installation of a well proven high intensity burner
Appropriate residence time in the Thermal Reactor
Adequate temperature in the Thermal Reactor
COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF ALL IMPURITIES
The Thermal Reactor has been designed with double zones configuration to achieve
The concentration of H2S and the presence of impurities in the feedstock to Claus Unit play an important role for the selection of the more appropriate plant configuration
CLAUS THERMAL REACTOR : Main Equipment
10
The produced Svap is condensed in each Sulphur Condenser and drained via hydraulic seals.
CATALYTIC STAGE
2 Claus Reactors, filled with alumina catalyst to complete the Claus reaction between H2S and SO2
The first reactor has been designed also for the use of titania catalyst (to promote Hydrolisis of COS, CS2).
Claus Heaters:Hot gas by-pass for the first
Claus Converter;Electrical Heater for the
second Claus Converter.
Steam side:1st, 2nd and 3rd Condensers operating P = 4.5 kg/cm2 g
Condensation and removal of sulphur, before the inlet to first and second catalytic stage, enables further conversion of sulphur in each catalytic reactor.

SULPHUR DEGASSING SECTION
PURPOSE
• To remove H2S and H2Sx from the liquid sulphur produced.
The removal is achieved by means of direct contact with air
(Stripping Air from Combustion Air Blower) in a internal Degassing Column filled with catalyst.
PROCESS
STREAMS
The process streams involved in the Sulphur Degassing are: FEEDS
- Undegassed Liquid Sulphur with H2S content about of 300ppm wt.- Stripping Air
PRODUCTS
- Degassed Liquid Sulphur with H2S content less than 10ppm wt.- Sweep Air to Thermal Incinerator
12
Air (hot) is fed from Combustion Air Blower through steam jacketed pipe.
SULPHUR DEGASSING – PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM
Sulphur Pit is equipped with Undegassed Sulphur Section and Degassed Sulphur Storage Section.
13
Sulphur Pit temperatureThe temperature inside the sulphur pit must be 135÷145 °C in order to control the viscosity of the liquid sulphur, which has to be easily pumped/ transferred (steam coils are provided).
Sweeping the sulphur pitIn order to ventilate the vapour space above the sulphur level - and thus maintaining the H2S concentration below the lower explosion limits – Steam Ejector is provided. The resulting Sweep Air is sent directly to the Incinerator.
SULPHUR DEGASSING – PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM
14
PURPOSE
To reduce all sulphur compounds contained in the tail gas from Claus Section into H2S, over a catalytic reactor.
After the reduction stage, there is the cooling stage, where the gas is cooled in the gas/gas heat exchanger and the water content is reduced by condensation.
Finally, the H2S contained in the quench tower outlet gas is absorbed along the TGT Absorber and recycled to the Claus Unit.
R.A.R. Technology (REDUCING, ABSORPTION, RECYCLE)The goal of the process is the reduction/hydrolysis into H2S of sulphur
compounds (SO2, Sx, COS, CS2) and the selective absorption of H2S with the amine solution.
The H2S released during the regeneration of the amine solution is recycled to Claus Unit.
