Hydrogen sulfide or H2S is a lethal gas generated in refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas handling facilities. Sulfur recovery units produce tail gas that contain relatively substantial amounts of H2S. Flare Industries designs a special type of thermal oxidizer, designed to eliminate the H2S components, while inhibiting the creation of corrosive acid by-products. Systems of this nature typically include dispersion stacks in efforts to disperse trace H2S and SO2 particles. These highly efficient systems significantly reducing the impact of environmentally offensive compounds.
Flare Industries’ Lo-NOx thermal oxidation technology is used to destroy a wide range of gas that may generate large quantities of NOx when combusted. This cutting edge technology employs multiple combustion chambers, air and water quenches, advanced refractory materials, a proprietary burner design, and a complex PLC driven control scheme. The Lo-NOx thermal oxidizer provides high destruction efficiency, low emissions, and significantly reduced NOx levels in efforts to comply with local and state environmental regulations.
