Increasingly stringent sulphur emissions regulations often require renovation of older sulphur recovery units (SRUs) to improve overall recovery. Optimization or modification of an existing Claus SRU or the design of a new unit can be simplified by use of a process simulator. In this paper, Karl W. Mattsson-Bozé and Lili G. Lyddon of Bryan Research & Engineering present examples to show how TSWEET® can be used to model a Claus SRU and then to simulate modifications to aid in evaluating the best design.
