New Iowa slow-release nitrogen plant

The 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction goals in the European Union are driving oil and gas producers to reduce CO2 emissions wherever possible. This extends to even the incinerator attached to a sulphur recovery unit (SRU). In this article Sulphur Experts review the role of the incinerator, how the three most common European TGUs each affect the demand on the incinerator itself, and the potential reduction in CO2 emissions for a generic facility of each type.

The development and implementation of modern process instruments and control systems in sulphur recovery units has increased significantly over the last decade. In this article, the impact of BTEX on sulphur plant operations and how the BTEX concentrations can be measured are discussed.

CRU’s 38th Nitrogen+Syngas Expoconference will be held on 10-12 February 2025 in Barcelona. The most respected technical event for the global nitrogen and syngas community offers an ideal platform for industry professionals to connect, do business and learn about the latest innovations in operations, technology, process and equipment. The annual meeting attracts a global audience of producers, licensors and materials and equipment providers representing an unparalleled opportunity for business networking and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.

Innovative catalyst systems from Heraeus and Łukasiewicz Research Network – New Chemical Syntheses Institute contribute to reach climate goals by reducing N2 O emissions during nitric acid production. Dr Uwe Jantsch and Jens Hesse of Heraeus Precious Metals report on the process performance results achieved for N2 O reduction in nitric acid production using FTC gauze systems and iron oxide based secondary catalysts.
