Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to processes sour gas treating for H2S Removal, separation of impurities such as hydrocarbons, BTEX and mercaptans and the Partial Acid Gas Enrichment integrated system from the sour gas field developments, or any application. The combination of innovation schemes comprises one or more absorbers, primary and secondary regenerators. The secondary regenerator functions are, enriching the H2S stream further and to separate the hydrocarbons, mercaptans and BTEX where an additional acid gas enrichment and hydrocarbons removal could be eliminated. Then there is a unique sulfur recovery and tail gas treating with a unique 2-zone reaction furnace, tail gas absorber which operated as partial acid gas enrichment by receiving split acid gas from the SRU and the hydrolysis reactor to hydrolyze sulfur compounds.The acid gas from the primary and the secondary amine regeneration and the acid gas recycle from the tail gas which is preheated and these streams flow to the 2-zones reaction furnace in the sulfur recovery unit to establish a stable low emission and higher recovery.
