Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, mercaptans and other contaminants are often found in natural gas streams. H2S is a highly toxic gas that is corrosive to carbon steels. CO2 is also corrosive to equipment and reduces the Btu value of gas. Gas sweetening processes remove these contaminants so the gas is suitable for transportation and use. Acid gases that are produced from the low-temperature methanol absorption and the sour water stripping processes from the sour water stripping and amine absorptionregeneration processes in the refining industry contain highly concentrated gaseous H2S and organosulfur compounds. The tail gas treating unit converts the small amount of sulfur compounds (< 5%), which were not converted in the sulfur recovery unit (SRU), into hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and recycles it back to the SRU for additional processing. The SRU tail gas is heated and sent to the catalytic reactor where essentially all of the sulfur compounds are converted into H2S. The gas from the catalytic reactor is cooled in the waste heat exchanger and the quench tower. Excess water is removed in the cooling process and is sent to the sour water stripper.
