  • STAGED COMBUSTION OF SULFUREOUS COMBUSTIBLE EFFLUENTS WITH RECOVERY OF THE SULFUR IN THE CLAUS PROCESS
    Publication number: 20140208998
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for advantageously efficiently treating a sulfureous combustible effluent stream by recovering the sulfur in elemental form. This process consists especially of the succession of two steps: a step of combustion of the sulfureous combustible effluent stream with an oxidant gas in excess, a step of post-combustion of the effluents from the combustion step with an acidic gas. The stream of the post-combustion effluents, free of chemical compounds that are harmful to the efficacy of the Claus catalysts, is treated in a Claus unit which performs the recovery of the sulfur in elemental form.
