Training Course Overview
Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) are essential in refining and gas processing plants, where they facilitate the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from acid gas streams and convert it into elemental sulfur. This process is vital for safeguarding downstream equipment, preventing corrosion, and meeting stringent environmental emission standards. As sulfur recovery processes grow more complex—due to factors such as varying feed conditions, increased throughput, and evolving emission regulations—engineers and technical professionals must have in-depth knowledge of SRU systems, including the Claus process, tail gas treatment, and optimization methods. This Design and Optimization of Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) training course offers a comprehensive understanding of SRU design, operation, control, and troubleshooting, with hands-on insights into system performance, sulfur plant integration, and emissions management.
