| Contents Notes |
The U. S. oil and natural gas production and processing systems are described. The sources of sulfur emissions in these systems as well as the current methods of control of such emissions are traced. Fourteen major and four minor processes for sweetening (removing Hb2sS) sour gas, two processes (Claus and Stretford) for production of sulfur and six processes for tail gas cleanup are described. Some factors that may help choose a process of a particular application are also indicated. The location of 84 Claus sulfur production plants used in natural gas facilities, their design capactiy, and production data are tabulated. The contribution of SOb2s emissions from the natural gas processing industry to the national SOb2s emission is compared and described. Control options available for different levels of hypothetical allowable sulfur emissions from the natural gas inudstry are described. |
