What are the effects of recycling sulfur dioxide (SO2) on the Claus sulfur recovery unit (SRU)? Environmental laws restrict air emissions; thus, facility operators are hard pressed to remove and recover sulfur-containing compounds. The authors explore recycling the SO2-containing process stream for tail-gas treatment, including the Claus unit operation. This case history provides several good operating examples to consider when optimizing tail-gas treatment.
