Introduction

This course focuses on the operation, optimization, and troubleshooting of sulfur recovery systems used in industrial processes, particularly in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical industries. Participants will learn the fundamentals of sulfur recovery, including key technologies such as the Claus process, tail gas treatment units, and other sulfur recovery methods. The course covers the entire sulfur recovery cycle, from feed preparation to product sulfur handling and disposal. It also explores critical operational issues such as capacity optimization, emissions control, and safety management in sulfur recovery units (SRUs). The aim is to enhance the skills of engineers and operators, ensuring that sulfur recovery operations are efficient, environmentally compliant, and cost-effective.
