General: For Bach Ho Crude operation only
28 April 2017 General: For Bach Ho Crude operation only To convert all sulphur compounds present in the acid gas feed from the ARU and SWS into liquid elemental sulphur Process: 1/3 of H2S is burned and converted into SO2 2/3 of H2S then reacts with the SO2 formed to produce elemental liquid sulphur Produced sulphur is then condensed and liquid sulphur cleared of H2S entrained Treated gas is finally incinerated to convert the remaining pollutants into SO2 SRU located at the south west of the area 4, nest to the LCO HDT, ARU and SWS 4 33/1 of Sec 1/1 of 20 4

Purpose & Duty of the Unit:
28 April 2017 Purpose & Duty of the Unit: Purpose of each section Section Purpose Sulphur Recovery (Claus) Section Claus Process, to convert H2S into elemental liquid sulphur. Section composed of a thermal stage (Thermal Reactor) followed by 3 catalytic steps: Thermal reactor: burns approx. 1/3 of the H2S contained in the total acid gases feed with air to convert it into SO2. Catalytic converters: to make the remaining 2/3 of the H2S react with the produced SO2 to give elemental sulphur Condensation of the produced sulphur Liquid Sulphur Storage and Degassing Section Degassing Section To remove the dissolved H2S from the produced sulphur. H2S content is decreased to less than 20 wt. ppm Incinerator Section To convert residual H2S contained in the treated gas leaving the Claus section and the degassing section into SO2. To burn NH3 rich SWS off gas and CNU off gas. Sulphur Apron The sulphur apron is where is collected the solid sulphur from the degassing pit. 7 33/1 of Sec 1/1 of 20 7
