TL;DRAbstract

A review is presented of the state-of-the-art of Claus technology and of research needs in this area. Since considerable quantities of natural gas are treated with this technology, it is very important to improve it. The study is based on literature searches and a survey of vendors, licensors, and research groups. Conclusions indicate that the design of reaction furnace and burner, and by development of selective direct oxidation catalysts for the final stage of the process. Replacing air with oxygen, minimizing the formation of carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) while maximizing hydrogen (H2) production leaving the waste heat boiler will improve the efficiency of the Claus unit.
