U.S. Patent for Innovative Sulfur Technology Awarded

摘要

A U.S. patent for a sulfur to energy process (STEP) has just been assigned to Black & Veatch. This is a unique method for recovering sulfur and energy from acid gases captured during the processing of high-sulfur oil and natural gas, as well as sequestering sulfur dioxide. Black & Veatch suggests that the technology could lead to emissions-free power generation David Stevens, vice president of sulfur technology for Black & Veatch, and Dr. Peter Clark, director of research for Alberta Sulphur Research Ltd. (Canada) and professor of chemistry at the University of Calgary, developed the technology.
