Abstract

When oil and gas is being processed the generated H2S needs to be removed and converted, due to environmental legislation. Traditionally, acid gas is converted in a Claus plant forming elemental sulfur; however this is an inefficient approach both out of an economic and operational context.
Today the most optimal solution for treating acid gases from Acid Gas Removal Units (AGRUs) is with the innovative WSA (Wet gas sulfuric acid) technology that converts acid gases into sulfuric acid.
The WSA technology is a superior solution for treatment and conversion of acid gases, and this paper will describe both the potential economic benefi ts and the unique process principles of the technology.
