PROSERNAT acquires breakthrough sulfur recovery technology SmartSulf™
PROSERNAT S.A. announced today the signature with Dr. Michael Heisel and Mr. Klaus Dieter Daun, the owners of ITS Reaktortechnik GmbH, of an agreement for the sale of 100 % of the shares of ITS to PROSERNAT. Through this acquisition, PROSERNAT will become the owner of the SmartSulf™ technology, developed and commercialized by ITS. This technology, based on the use of proprietary internally cooled Claus reactors, constitutes a breakthrough improvement of the traditional Claus process used for the recovery and conversion into saleable elemental sulphur of H2S from acid gas streams. The SmartSulf™ technology achieves high sulphur recovery levels (typically 99.5% +) with a limited number of equipment items and avoids the installation of costly tail gas treatment units downstream the Claus reactors. There are currently 11 references using this technology among which 4 are under design/construction, the others being in operation.
“The acquisition, through ITS, of the SmartSulf™ technology strengthens our offer in the important area of sulphur recovery. With SmartSulf™ we include in our global sulphur recovery technology portfolio one of the most advanced, efficient and cost effective processes for such applications. SmartSulf™ is an innovative technology, which already enjoys an impressively excellent operational feedback from the units today in operation” said Jérôme Illouz, CEO of PROSERNAT Group.
“ITS has developed and continuously improved the SmartSulf™ technology for more than 10 years. SmartSulf™ is flexible, can be applied in feed gases from very low up to very high H2S content and lends itself to modularization. Now we have reached a point where the merits of this technology have been fully demonstrated in commercial scale plants. Those technical successes triggered significant interest in the industry and commercial successes for SmartSulf™ which now require that this technology is offered through a technically and commercially more established organization. PROSERNAT, a strongly technology focused engineering company well established in the Oil & Gas markets is an ideal acquirer to bring SmartSulf™ to the highest levels of technical and commercial developments” said Dr. Michael Heisel, co-owner of ITS.
