A Highly Interactive Training Course On
Advanced Design and Operation of Sulfur Recovery Units
Optimizing Sulfur Removal and Environmental Compliance in Refining and Gas Processing Facilities
Upcoming Sessions
Course Introduction
Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) are crucial in refining and gas processing operations, as they remove hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from acid gas streams and convert it into elemental sulfur. This process not only protects equipment from corrosion but also ensures compliance with stringent environmental emission standards. With the increasing complexity of sulfur recovery—due to factors like fluctuating feed conditions, higher throughput, and stricter emission regulations—engineers and technical professionals must possess a thorough understanding of SRU systems, including the Claus process, tail gas treatment, and optimization strategies. The Advanced Design and Operation of Sulfur Recovery Units training course provides a detailed overview of SRU design, operation, control, and troubleshooting, along with practical insights into system performance, sulfur plant integration, and managing emissions.
Training Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the Claus process and sulfur recovery fundamentals
- Design and evaluate key components of a sulfur recovery unit
- Operate and monitor SRUs to maintain efficiency and compliance
- Analyze tail gas treatment systems and emission reduction methods
- Troubleshoot common operational issues in sulfur recovery systems
Training Methodology
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
