Process Simulation Studies
Sulphur Experts has extensive experience in process simulation studies for sulphur recovery facilities using our own Sulsim® sulphur plant simulation program as well as other industry standard simulation programs (ProMax™, ProTreat™ and others).
These simulation studies can be used to support a wide variety of engineering studies including:
-
Determining the current SRU recovery efficiency of your plant using actual recent plant data
-
Predicting the reaction furnace performance for the processing of specific acid gas compositions
-
Determining the effect of catalyst activity on overall plant recovery performance.
-The simulations will reflect the expected performance with new catalyst (“start of run”) and deactivated catalyst (typical for “end of run”) conditions.
-The effects on the Claus reaction and the COS and CS2 hydrolysis rates will be evaluated
-
Determining the specific operating conditions required for optimum recovery efficiency (converter and condenser temperatures, etc.)
-
Identify and determine the effect of various plant problems on recovery efficiency capability (air flow control, leaking switching valves, poor bed regeneration etc.)
-
Evaluate the impact of other possible plant emission sources (pit vent, H2S in incinerator fuel gas etc.) on overall plant emissions
-
Providing detailed material and heat balances for future detailed design engineering.
Sulphur Experts has developed the industry leading Sulsim® sulphur plant simulation program for conducting rigorous process simulation studies.
