Sulfur Gas Recovery

Our decades of experience mean we know how to run a safe and environmentally-friendly plant, and we share our knowledge on the safe handling, use and storage of sulfuric acid with our customers.

The challenge as we see it

As refiners face regulatory pressures to reduce sulfur oxide emissions and lower sulfur content in fuels, management of the sulfur molecule becomes extremely important both from a financial and environmental perspective.

Our differentiated value

Veolia provides sulfur gas recovery (SGR) solutions for refining operations that provide improved flexibility, reliability and environmental performance compared to the classic refinery sulfur management system.

  • Product handling and product stewardship guidance
  • Customer on-site safety training
  • Emergency response drills and training

Our solutions for sulfur gas recovery

We build, own and operate sulfur gas recovery plants that are onsite or adjacent to a refinery operation. Customers have the option of transferring all or part of their sulfur gas processing requirements to Veolia’s management. Benefits of an onsite SGR plant include:

  • Cleaner, more effective sulfur/ acid gas recovery solutions compared to traditional Claus-Tail Gas Units
  • Enhanced focus on core competencies for the refinery operations
  • Improved operational flexibility
  • Potential CAPEX reduction

Veolia is uniquely positioned to service industry, government and commercial entities in improving performance, managing water, waste and energy.
