    APPLICATIONS
    The SUPERCLAUS® process recovers elemental sulfur from H2S-containing gases originating from gas treating and sour
    SULFUR RECOVERY - SUPERCLAUS® PROCESS

    water stripper plants. Yields up to 99.2% overall sulfur recovery, without any further tail gas cleanup, are possible.

    DESCRIPTION FEATURES
    The SUPERCLAUS® process consists of a thermal stage followed by minimum three » Application in both new and
    catalytic reaction stages, with sulfur removed between stages by condensers. existing plants
    The first reactors are filled with standard Claus catalyst, while the final reactor is » Sulfur recovery up to 99.2%
    filled with selective oxidation catalyst.
    » Long catalyst lifetime
    In the thermal stage, the acid gas is burned with a sub-stoichiometric amount » Simple continuous operation
    of controlled combustion air, such that the tail gas leaving the last Claus reactor
    contains typically 0.8-1.0 vol.% of H2S. The selective oxidation catalyst in the final » Low additional investment costs
    reactor oxidizes the H2S to sulfur at an efficiency of more than 85%. » NH3 destruction
    If a sulfur recovery rate of more than 99% is required, a third Claus reactor stage » High turndown
    can be installed upstream of the selective oxidation reactor. » High reliability - less than 1%
    unscheduled shutdown time
    OPERATING CONDITIONS
    Two main principles are applied in operating the SUPERCLAUS® process:
    » Operating the Claus plant with excess H2S to suppress the SO2
    content in the Claus tail gas
    » Selective oxidation of the remaining H2S in the Claus tail gas
    by means of special catalyst which efficiently converts the
    remaining H2S in the presence of water vapor and excess oxygen
    to elemental sulfur only
    Other operating features that apply to Jacobs’ Comprimo® Claus
    process are applicable for the SUPERCLAUS® process as well. These
    include NH3 destruction up to 30 vol.%, the capability to process
    heavy hydrocarbons and aromatics (BTX) up to 2 vol.%, turndown
    ratios of 100-15% and production of 99.9% pure bright yellow sulfur.
