Modified Claus Process | FSC 432: Petroleum Refining
The converter effluent is introduced into a condenser unit to obtain elemental sulfur as a liquid product. Small quantities of S produced in the burner reactor may also be recovered after the waste heat boiler. Typically, three sets of converter-condenser units in series are needed to achieve 95% recovery of S in the Modified Claus Process.

It is fed to a thermal stage (combustion reactor) of a Claus Process Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU) at 40 °C, 179 kPa and 5000 kmol/h. The air feed to the SRU is at 118 °C, 179 kPa. The product stream is fed to the waste heat boiler. The product stream is then separated into sulphur and other product streams.

Design of SRU Thermal Reactor and Waste Heat Boiler
Jan 01, 2012 · 1. Introduction The Claus process is the most common route for recovering sulphur from acid gases coming from oil and gas desulphurization treatment. Typically, a SRU is composed of a burner, a thermal reactor (TR), a waste heat boiler (WHB) (Fig. 1) and a train of sulphur condensers and catalytic Claus reactors.
