Refining India 2017Growth in India’s demand for oil products will outstrip the rest of the world during the next 25 years, according to a recent focus report from the International Energy Agency. In response, India’s government concedes that even faster growth in refining capacity is essential to keep pace with domestic demand. This will mean more and bigger refineries, integrated with petrochemicals production and geared to the highest international standards of clean fuels to combat urban pollution...... View All Events |

SweetSulf™ The High Pressure Redox Desulfurization ProcessReaction: Sour gas is contacted with an aqueous redox solution which extracts the H2S and converts it into solid elemental sulphur. Gas separation: Treated gas, free of H2S, is separated from the redox solution. Solid separation: Solid sulphur is filtered under pressure on a cartridge filter which can be regenerated on stream. Re-Oxidation: The redox solution is depressurized and re-oxidized by contact with air...... View All Literature |
