The €200 million project was officially opened on 7th September in an inauguration ceremony at Sluiskil in the Netherlands attended by the Norwegian and Dutch prime ministers.
Retrofitting liquid sulphur treating into existing sulphur recovery units can significantly improve safety by reducing hydrogen sulphide in sulphur storage and handling, while also lowering the risk of toxic exposure and explosions. Worley Comprimo reviews proven treating technologies and retrofit options that can be implemented with minimal disruption to existing operations.
Gas processing facilities are increasingly required to reduce industrial carbon footprint. A significant opportunity lies in recovering CO2 from tail-end gas streams that are typically routed to thermal oxidation. MAIRE Group presents an integrated recovery configuration combining cryogenic separation with pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to recover high purity CO2 and H2 from SRU/TGTU tail gas.
Structural Technologies outlines practical inspection, assessment, and repair strategies to maintain below-grade sulphur pits to help owner/operators maintain serviceability, extend asset life, and avoid costly process interruptions.
Fluor discusses the unique challenges associated with transporting liquid sulphur through pipelines and presents key design considerations and operational strategies that enable safe, continuous and reliable long-distance operation.
