Petrochemicals

The hydrocarbon processing industry and the chemical industry demand high performance refractory products – ranging from a few kilos for local repairs to thousands of tons in new plants. As a production and research centre, Special Ceramics works and thinks along with oil companies and engineering companies.

What matters the most is that all products and applications exactly match the specifications – and vice versa. SCL’s experts guarantee fit-for-purpose refractory engineering in both new construction and maintenance projects. For these they can rely on in house developed, well-considered knowledge of the business. This includes the distinct added value of understanding the customer’s product and process.

Sulphur Recovery Unit

Sulphur recovery unit, or SRU, converts hydrogen sulphid (H₂S), also known as sour gas or acid gas, into sulphur. Hydrogen sulfide is a by-product of processing natural gas and refining high-sulphur crude oil. H₂S is burned in the reaction furnace and combined with SO₂ to create sulfur. Petrochemical plants and oil refineries are required to recover between 95 and 99.99% of the total sulphur introduced into the sulphur recovery unit. Having the right refractory products and SRU support can help achieve and maintain the desired recovery rate.

Our SRU experts have your best interests in mind. Their background and experience within sulphur recovery units gives them the unique ability to provide a customized solution for you.
