Pipeline-gas Demonstration Plant. Phase I: Demonstration Plant engineering and design. Volume 10: Plant Section 900 - Sulfur Recovery

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6177903
Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction, and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase (Phase I). This phase is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I is the process and project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. The design has been completed and is being reported in 24 volumes. This is Volume 10 which covers the design of Plant Section 900 - Sulfur Recovery. The Sulfur Recovery unit produces sulfur from gaseous streams discharged from Plant Sections 400, 1100, and 1300 using a modified Beavon Sulfur Removal Process. This process consists of a Stretford system containing two Stretford absorbers and a hydrogenation section. The gaseous discharge from the Sulfur Recovery unit is an environmentally acceptable vent containing approximately 300 ppM SO/sub 2/. The Sulfur Recovery unit is designed to produce a maximum anticipated sulfur output of approximately 53 long tons per day.
