Oxy Enrich Process for Capacity Enhancement of Claus Based Sulfur Recovery Unit
OxyEnrich Process
OxyEnrich Process uses oxygen enriched air for oxidation of H2S to elementary sulfur in sulfur recovery unit and increases the plant capacity. Process minimizes nitrogen content in combustion air and results reduction in process gas flow in down stream of reaction furnace . Process increases reaction furnace temperature, which depends on oxygen concentration in air .
Process gives better conversion of H2S in reaction furnace and marginally increases overall sulfur recovery of the unit
SALIENT FEATURES:
Technology is First of its kind being implemented in Indian Refineries. Project jointly undertaken by CPCL & EIL (R&D). Technology will be jointly licensed by CPCL & EIL. Demonstration Run being done by CPCL from 11/5/2009 No Major hardware modifications in the existing unit. Capacity increase by 15% to 22% (From 90 TPD to 104 / 110 TPD of Sulphur in each Train) Oxygen content in Air Enriched from 19.6 to 28 vol% Low cost option for enhancing SRU capacity. Cost towards demonstration run is about Rs.2 Cr.
