The Sulfur Recovery technology is used to treat gas streams containing Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) for the purpose of reducing the sulfur content of fuel products and to recover a saleable sulfur by-product.
The technology includes a sulfur recovery section based on the Claus process, an amine-based tail-gas treating section, an incinerator with waste heat recovery, and proprietary burners.
With the growing need for low-sulfur transportation fuels, the company believes the demand for process units to reduce the sulfur content of refinery gas streams is sizeable.
Foster Wheeler CEO Umberto della Sala said that this addition to its technology portfolio is part of its strategic growth initiative and greatly enhances its ability to provide refiners with the process technology they need to meet increasingly stringent environmental and fuel product specifications.
