Overview:
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is found in extracted crude oil from geological sources. In the atmospheric distillation along with lighter hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide is separated from rest of the oil. In the amine treatment unit H2S is separated from hydrocarbons and fed to sulphur recovery unit (SRU) for extracting sulphur. With the use of multiple conversion reactor, generally up to 97% of H2S to elemental sulphur is achievable. The remaining tail gas can be sent to a Tail Gas Treatment absorber as due to environmental concerns H2S has to be removed from the tail gas.
Due to increasing oil & gas exploration activities and stringent environmental regulations, sulphur recovery technology market has shown significant growth over the past few years. Growing number of refineries and gas processing plants in Asian and Middle East market have also enhanced the market for sulphur recovery technologies. In 2015, Middle East and Africa was the largest market for sulphur recovery technology market.
Key trends observed in the global sulphur recovery technology market are increasing partnerships between refineries and fertilizer producers and modifications to enhance sulphur recovery technologies. Along with this, refineries are adopting specialized Tail Gas Treatment recovery process to enhance their sulphur recovery yield.
