Today's greatly increased concern over air pollution from sulfur oxides, coupled with high sulfur selling prices, has led many processors to install sulfur plants of much smaller capacities than were previously considered economical. To hold costs of these mini-units to the minimum, and to get them onstream and producing sulfur in the shortest possible time, a package plant design concept developed by the Ralph M. Parsons Co. has permitted substantial savings in mass producing such plants. The experience gained from more than 100 plants led to development of standardized designs for maximum efficiency in smaller units. The concept is applicable to plants ranging from a few tons per day in capacity to more than 100 tons per day. Many can be built to the same drawings, a substantial saving in itself.
