Sulfur Recovery Unit (Claus Process) A Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) is a process used in the petroleum refining industry to recover elemental sulfur from hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas produced during the refining process. The Claus process is the most widely used method for sulfur recovery in the industry. It involves a series of chemical reactions that convert H2S into elemental sulfur through a series of stages. The first stage of the Claus process involves burning the H2S gas to produce sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas. The SO2 gas is then mixed with more H2S gas and passed through a catalyst bed where the SO2 reacts with the H2S to produce sulfur and water vapor. This reaction is known as the Claus reaction. The sulfur that is produced in the Claus reaction is then cooled and collected as a liquid or solid. The water vapor that is produced in the reaction is removed by condensation and other processes. The Claus process is typically operated in multiple stages, with each stage consisting of a sulfur condenser, a catalyst bed, and other equipment. The number of stages required depends on the H2S concentration in the feed gas and the desired sulfur recovery rate. In addition to the Claus process, there are other sulfur recovery technologies such as the SuperClaus and SCOT processes, which are modifications of the Claus process that are designed to improve recovery efficiency or reduce emissions of sulfur-containing compounds.

The fractions are further treated to convert them into mixtures of more useful saleable products by various methods such as cracking, reforming, alkylation, polymerisation, and isomerisation. #PetroleumRefinery #CrudeOil #Distillation #RefiningProcess #oilandgas #oil #gas #refinery

Chemical maker LyondellBasell Industries (LYB.N), opens new tab on Friday detailed its long-announced plan to permanently shutter its 263,776 barrel-per-day (bpd) Houston oil refinery in the first quarter of 2025. The planned closing marks the latest in a wave of U.S. refinery closures as motor fuel demand is expected to peak this decade and decline under pressure from renewable fuels and electric vehicles. In January, one of the facility's crude distillation units (CDU) and coker production train will shut, Lyondell refining chief Kim Foley told analysts on a call to discuss third-quarter results. https://buff.ly/3YS3nO7 #leveltrac #levelmeasurement #ASME #remotewaterlevelindicator #oilandgas #refinery #engineering #questtecsolutions #ABMA #magneticgauge #magneticgage #magnetrac #flashing #boiling #outgassing #houston #flashing #maggauge #oil #gas #biofuel #Biomass #SustainableAviationFuel #SAF #gwr #guidedwaveradar

Although the US built a major wave of new chemical capacity based on available cheap feedstock, plus added export capacity for almost everything in the chain, current natural gas prices suggest the US should build more. The step change in US oil production has driven more natural gas and NGL production than new LNG facilities, and its ethylene and propylene units can handle. Gas prices are low, historically so, compared to crude oil. We have more LNG under construction and one new ethylene unit, in addition to a few units that are not fully operational - current pricing and natural gas inventories suggest room for more North American additions. https://hubs.li/Q02kCNpK0 Commodities mentioned: #Ethylene #Propylene #NGLs #LNG #Hydrogen #Lithium #Oil #Natural Gas #Polyethylene #Polypropylene #Benzene #Polystyrene #Zinc Companies mentioned: Linde Air Products Air Liquide DuPont LyondellBasell FMC Corporation ExxonMobil Lifezone Metals Plug Power Ørsted bp Shell Petrobras Equinor Eni #chemicalindustry #plasticsindustry #plasticpackaging #chemicals #petrochemicals #sustainability #cleanenergy #oilandgasindustry #packaging #esginvesting #ESG #energy #manufacturing #materials #energytransition

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Market was USD 6.73 billion in 2023, would rocket up to USD 8.76 billion in 2033, and is expected to undergo a CAGR of 3.35% during 2024-2033. The Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) market is integral to the petroleum refining industry, where it plays a critical role in converting heavy crude oil fractions into valuable lighter products like gasoline, diesel, and olefins.
