Intensified Sulphur Recovery via Water Electrolysis
Rising hydrogen sulphide levels from souring reservoirs and high-sulphur crude oils are turning sulphur recovery units into major throughput bottlenecks in both gas plants and refineries. Filip Cejka of Bryan Research & Engineering presents oxygen enrichment as a practical debottlenecking strategy, with water electrolysis - especially alkaline water electrolysis and, to a lesser extent, solid oxide electrolysis - offering promising oxygen supply options.
