DOES YOUR PLANT LOOK LIKE THIS?

Conventional sulfur seal legs tend to plug frequently resulting in excessive down time, hazardous conditions, and frequent sulfur spills.

OUR SULTRAP MAKES IT LOOK LIKE THIS

SOS practices environmental prevention through the introduction of the SULTRAPTM. We understand the challenges industries face in keeping tight EPA standards, as well as the financial cost in the maintenance of sulfur seal legs. By replacing conventional seal legs with a SULTRAPTM, industries no longer have to worry about these problems.

THE SULTRAPTM IS A PATENTED TRAP DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE SEPARATION OF LIQUID SULFUR FROM THE ACID GAS IN A SULFUR RECOVERY UNIT. THE SULTRAP WAS DEVELOPED TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR SULFUR SEAL LEGS. It requires no electrical or pneumatic assistance. Its short design eliminates the need for in-ground seal legs and below ground storage. It is ASME coded and steam jacketed. It allows for easy cleanout without lengthy shutdowns thanks to its quick release head.

When placing an order for the 2001M please specify 2001M-A,B, C for material designation as listed below.

2001M-A. All CARBON STEEL WITH INTERNAL (316L) FLOAT ASSEMBLY.

2001M-B. CARBON STEEL (JACKET AND SHELL), HEAD (316L).

2001M-C. CARBON (JACKET) ALL WETTED PARTS INCLUDING FLG’S. ARE (S.S).

SOS also offers additional options and variations of the sultrap design that can be found when you download the attached pdf file listed below

ABOVE GROUND SULFUR HANDLING SYSTEM

ADVANTAGES OF AN ABOVE GROUND SULFUR HANDLING SYSTEM:

*- NOTHING IS IN THE GROUND, INCLUDING THE SULFUR PIT

*- IT'S EASY TO RETROFIT ONTO AN EXISTING PLANT

*- REPLACES FAILING SULFUR PITS

*-MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN CONTINUED CONCRETE PIT REPAIRS

*- MORE COST EFFECTIVENESS THAN BUILDING NEW PIT IN A HIGH WATER TABLE LOCATION

*- TOTALLY ENCLOSED ALLOWING NO GASES TO ESCAPE AND CAUSE H2S ALARM ACTIVATION

*- NO LOCAL CORROSION OR OPERATOR COMPLAINTS.

NITROGEN PRODUCTION WITH SO2 BYPRODUCT

The SOS Air Based Nitrogen Production System

This design provides an SO2 byproduct for SRU capacity increase.

ADVANTAGES OF AN SO2 INJECTION SYSTEM

*- INCREASE CAPACITY UP TO 200-225%

*- ONLY ONE TIE-IN TO CLAUS UNIT

*- USES OXYGEN

*- REDUCES LOAD ON WHB (NO NEW WATER HEAT BOILER REQUIRED)

*- NO EXOTIC BURNERS OR DOUBLE BURNERS REQD.

SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL INVESTMENT

REDUCTION FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS WHERE:

A) ALL H2S STREAM IS AVAILABLE

B) AMMONIA GAS CAN BE FED TO EXISTING CLAUS UNIT

The new Claus unit with SO2 injection would not require the following equipment:

AA) Burner

BB) Thermal rector

CC) Wate heat boiler, and all instrumentation involved with these items Equipment Required:

-Mixing Chamber

-Reactor Beds with Reheaters and associated Condensers (allowing 60 to 75% reduction of tail gas mass flow which can be fed to existing tail gas unit).

COOLED WALL THERMAL REACTOR

(PATENT APPROVED)

Cooling the outer wall of an inner tube that is experiencing high temperature is a forgone fact in the chemical and petroleum processing industry. In fact within the Claus unit, the waste heat boiler tubes are cooled with water in a natural circulation steam generator. This method has been used for years, successfully, even when the gas temperatures are in the range of 3000 degrees. Actually, these waste heat boiler tubes are made of carbon steel material and can have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. The design of the thermal reactor without refractory is a modification whereby we actually cool the inner wall of a double walled thermal reactor with a formulated heat removal agent under forced circulation.The forced circulation increases heat removal and reduces any hot spotting.The inner wall is an alloy material while the outer wall is a standard carbon steel construction. The resulting temperature of the inner wall is less than half of the maximum recommended temperature for it’s alloy material.

ADVANTAGES OF A COOLED WALL THERMAL REACTOR

(PATENT APPROVED)

• No Refractory
• No preheat time for startup
• Reduction of burner problems since there is no reflected radiant energy from the refractory mass
• Reduction of the waste heat boiler heat duty and size
• Immediate cool down after shutdown
• Supply of a good heat source for reheaters Reduction of possible damage to WHB tubesheet since gas temperature is lower
• Closed loop heat removal agent system Services
