Abstract: Method for SOx remediation in a manufacturing operation includes providing a process stream including an organic compound and an amount of a sulfur-containing compound, an oxidation stream including at least one chemical oxidant, and combining at least a portion of the oxidant stream with at least a portion of the process stream to obtain an organic stripper feed stream, in which the amount of the sulfur-containing compound is reduced upon reaction with the at least one chemical oxidant. The method can further include directing at least a portion of the organic stripper feed stream to a combustion operation, and emitting a SOx remediated off gas from the combustion operation. A system using the disclosed method also is provided.
