  • Patent number: 11976770
    Abstract: A solids removal apparatus for glycol reclamation includes a first tubular, a second tubular, and a strainer. The first tubular includes an open end configured to receive a brine stream including solid material. The second tubular is connected to and protrudes from the first tubular. The second tubular is configured to discharge an outlet stream. The strainer is disposed within the second tubular. The strainer is configured to prevent at least a portion of the solid material from flowing through the strainer, such that the outlet stream discharging from the second tubular has a solids content that is less than a solids content of the brine stream.

  • Publication number: 20240109776
    Abstract: A system and method for removing sulfur compounds from gas, including discharging tail gas having sulfur compounds from a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) to a non-thermal plasma (NTP) catalytic unit including an NTP reactor, providing oxidant to the NTP reactor and placing the oxidant in an NTP state in the NTP reactor to give an oxidative reactive species formed from the oxidant, converting (oxidizing) the sulfur compounds with the oxidative reactive species and catalyst in the NTP catalytic unit into sulfur oxides (SOx) to discharge the tail gas as treated having the formed SOx without the sulfur compounds that were converted. The SOx is absorbed into water in a quench tower to give the tail gas beneficially having only small amounts (e.g., less than 200 ppmv) of sulfur compounds. SOx may be degassed from water discharged from the quench tower and sent to the SRU furnace.

  • Publication number: 20240109034
    Abstract: A system and method for removing sulfur compounds from gas, including providing a feed gas having sulfur compounds including hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) that has a furnace or a non-thermal plasma (NTP) reactor, discharging an SRU tail gas having H2S from the SRU to a tail gas treatment (TGT) unit having a hydrogenation reactor, a quench tower, and a TGT NTP reactor, converting sulfur compounds in the SRU tail gas in the hydrogenation reactor into H2S, discharging a process gas having H2S from the hydrogenation reactor to the quench tower and removing water vapor from the process gas in the quench tower, discharging an overhead gas having H2S from the quench tower to the TGT NTP reactor, and converting H2S in the TGT NTP reactor into hydrogen (H2) and elemental sulfur.
