Abstract

Language:

Acid gas obtained from oil refineries contains large amounts of hydrogen sulfide, which are not allowed as the off-gas or burned to the atmosphere. The waste gas collected during the processes in the refineries contains a high amount of sulfur-bearing compounds, hence it should be sent to the sulfur recovery unit (SRU). This study investigates the potential of employing a reduced kinetic scheme within the DSMOKE simulation environment to analyze the thermal furnace, a crucial component where significant reactions take place. Through this work, hydrogen sulfide conversions of 75%, 80%, and 86% were achieved respectively from plant data, a detailed kinetic model, and the reduced kinetic model. The results from the reduced kinetic model show a close agreement with both the detailed kinetic model and plant data, displaying error margins of only 5% and 6%. This indicates that the reduced kinetic model can reliably represent the reaction dynamics within the thermal furnace, offering a more efficient alternative for simulation while maintaining accuracy.
