An intensive professional development training course on
Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU) Design and Operation
Optimizing Sulfur Removal and Environmental Compliance in Refining and Gas Processing Facilities
Why Choose Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU) Design and Operation Training Course?
Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) play a critical role in refining and gas processing facilities, ensuring the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from acid gas streams and converting it into elemental sulfur. This process not only protects downstream equipment and prevents corrosion, but also ensures compliance with strict environmental emission regulations. As sulfur recovery becomes more complex due to varying feed conditions, higher throughput, and evolving emissions standards, engineers and technical professionals must be equipped with deep technical knowledge of SRU systems, including the Claus process, tail gas treatment, and optimization techniques. This Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU) Design and Operation training course delivers a thorough understanding of SRU design, operation, control, and troubleshooting, with practical insight into system performance, sulfur plant integration, and emissions management.
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the Claus process and sulfur recovery fundamentals
- Design and evaluate key components of a sulfur recovery unit
- Operate and monitor SRUs to maintain efficiency and compliance
- Analyze tail gas treatment systems and emission reduction methods
- Troubleshoot common operational issues in sulfur recovery systems
