Goar, B G

A discussion by B. G. Goar (Goar, Arrington and Assoc. Inc.) at the 57th GPA (Gas Processors Association) Annual Convention (New Orleans 1978) covers a description and the economics of tail-gas cleanup processes that may be added to a Claus plant, including wet scrubbing processes that involve reduction of all sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide followed by absorption and recycle to the Claus unit or Stretford process oxidation to sulfur, e.g., the Shell SCOT process, the Parsons Beavon process, the Pritchard Cleanair process, and the Trentham Trencor-M process; and wet scrubbing processes involving oxidation of all sulfurous compounds to sulfur dioxide followed by absorption and recycle or reaction, e.g., the Davy Powergas/Wellman-Lord process, the Chiyoda Thoroughbred 101 process, and the U.S. Bureau of Mines Citrate process.
