Application: LO-CAT removes H2S from gas streams and produces elemental
sulfur. LO-CAT units are in service treating refinery fuel gas, hydrodesulfurization offgas, sour-water-stripper gas, amine acid gas, claus tail gas and sulfur tank vent gas. Sulfur capacities are typically less than 25 ltpd down to several pounds per day. Key benefits of operation are high (99.9%) H2S removal efficiency, and flexible operation, with virtually 100% turndown capability of H2S composition and total gas flow. Sulfur is recovered as a slurry, filter cake or high-purity molten sulfur. The sulfur cake is increasingly being used in agriculture, but can also be deposited in a nonhazardous landfill.
H2S REMOVAL
treating amine acid gas and sour-water-stripper gas streams. In both configurations, sulfur is concentrated in the oxidizer cone and sent to a sulfur filter, which can produce filter cake as high as 85% sulfur. If desired, the filter cake can be further washed and melted to produce pure molten sulfur.
