Abstract:
A process for removing sulfur compounds, particularly hydrogen sulfide, from a waste gas wherein sulfur dioxide is introduced into the process gas at multiple process locations. Quantities of sulfur dioxide are introduced into the process gas stream at one or more locations preceding catalytic reaction. The process of the present invention may be practiced for Claus processes involving initial thermal reactions, and may be practiced without necessity of preliminary thermal reaction. In an embodiment of the invention, one of the injection locations of sulfur dioxide is the thermal reactor.
Abstract:
Control of a process for producing free sulfur from hydrogen sulfide is accomplished by manipulating the flow rate of a feed stream containing oxygen to a furnace in such a manner that a desired proportion of the hydrogen sulfide fed to the furnace is converted to sulfur dioxide. Combustion of hydrogen sulfide is precisely controlled by the proposed system to maintain the hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide concentrations in the tail gas at acceptable levels to minimize the environmental pollution.

The sulfur recovery process includes a thermal step having a beginning followed by a catalytic step having an end. The control process includes first analyzing a composition of the process gas stream at a first location between the beginning of the thermal step and the end of the catalytic step, first controlling the oxygen containing gas having regard to that first composition, second analyzing the composition of the process gas stream at a second location downstream of the end of the catalytic step, and second controlling the oxygen containing gas having regard to that second composition. The sulfur recovery system and control system therefor are provided for performing the steps of the sulfur recovery process and control process respectively.
Abstract:
An improved Claus process control system utilizing first and second coulometric titrators for automatically controlling the amount of oxygen used in burning a portion of the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in flue gases. The first and second titrators are fed sulfur dioxide (SO2) scrubbed and unscrubbed samples, respectively, of the flue gases downstream of the oxygen injection point. The first and second titrators produce H2S and H2S + SO2 analog output signals, respectively, which are used to control the rate of flow of oxygen or air injected in a manner such that the samples of the flue gases contain H2S in a concentration which is approximately or exactly equal to twice the concentration of the SO2 therein.

Abstract:
A process for automated regulation of a unit producing sulphur by oxidation of hydrogen sulphide, in which the flow of gas carrying oxygen into the unit is regulated so as to keep an operating parameter, based on measurement of the sulphurous compound of the residual gases, level with a reference value. It is characterized by the fact that the control signal, used to regulate the flow of gas containing oxygen at the unit inlet, is a combination of a signal based on measurements taken at the inlet, and representing the theoretical flow of this gas needed to keep the operating parameter at its reference level and another signal representing the correction needed in this flow to adjust the instantaneous value of the parameter to the reference level. This process allow better control of the sulphur unit, with increased efficiency and reduced atmospheric pollution. This is a division, of application Ser. No. 207,790 filed Dec. 14, 1971 and now abandoned.

Abstract:
A sample of the tail gas from a Claus plant is continuously taken, oxidized to convert all C and S atoms to CO2 and SO2 respectively, analyzed for these compounds, and the ratio of CO2/SO2 (which is numerically equal to the C/S ratio) is determined. The C/S ratio is a measure of the relative flow rates in the tail gas of these two atomic species. Any controllable variable in the plant process can then be optimized by altering it to maximize this ratio.
