Since its development in 1936, the “modified Claus” technology has been the preferred process used by refineries and gas processing plants for the recovery of sulfur from acid-gas streams. Modern sulfur plants include a burner and a thermal reactor tied to a waste-heat exchanger as the first and second process units followed by a catalytic reaction section consisting of two or more catalytic converters. If sulfur recovery higher than 98% is required to meet the low-sulfur emission standards set by legislation, a tail-gas cleanup process must be included in the design of the sulfur recovery unit (SRU). The modified Claus process, however, has a number of operating challenges that ar
