Process measurement Instrumentation solutions for Sulfur recovery units (SRU)

Product catalog summary
Overview: Sulfur recovery units (SRUs) are essential for refiners and gas processing operators to legally remove sulfur from hydrocarbon products. The Claus process is the primary method used, combining thermal and catalytic steps to recover up to 97% of sulfur before final removal in tail gas treatment processes.
Instrumentation Solutions: WIKA provides advanced instrumentation solutions for SRUs, focusing on process measurement and safety. Key products include:
  • Multipoint Thermocouple TC95-S: Offers fast response time and sensor replacement during operation. Available in ATEX/IECEx Ex i or Ex d versions.
  • High Temperature Thermocouple TC82: Features a double sealing system for increased safety, available in ATEX, IEC Ex d, and Ex i versions. Includes a purge gas system and refractory nozzle insulation.
  • TC83 Calitum® High Temperature Thermocouple: Sapphire design with over 25 years of successful deployment in high-temperature applications.
  • Refractory Health Monitoring with Model TCC: Utilizes a mobile hot junction to detect the hottest temperature along the sensor sheath, indicating potential refractory problems.
Process Components: The catalytic reactor operates between 180-350°C, requiring multiple sensing points for efficient operation. The thermal reactor operates at 950-1,400°C, separating up to 70% of sulfur in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere.
WIKA Field Service: WIKA offers on-site installation and commissioning services tailored to customer requirements, ensuring process safety and compliance with local safety instructions. Their experienced service team ensures short downtimes and fast commissioning.
Additional Products: WIKA also provides bypass level indicators, Venturi tubes, wedge flow meters, process transmitters, pressure gauges, and diaphragm seals to complement SRU instrumentation.

Process measurement Instrumentation solutions for Sulfur recovery units (SRU)-2

Sulfur recovery units (SRU) Refiners and gas processing operators are legally required to remove sulfur from produced hydrocarbon products. The "claus" process is the primary plant unit employed to recover sulfur and combines thermal and catalytic steps in series to recover up to 97 % before final removal in "tail gas treatment" processes. The ''catalytic reactor'' is the secondary process where the process temperatures passing through the fixed catalyst beds require multiple sensing points to profile catalyst activity to maximise safe, efficient operation. The ''thermal reactor'' separates up...

Process measurement Instrumentation solutions for Sulfur recovery units (SRU)-3

■ Reduction of unplanned downtime ■ Increased safety through double sealing system against escape of toxic media ■ Designs available in ATEX, IEC Ex d and Ex i versions ■ Cost savings through the elimination of a purge system and the repairability of the sensor ■ Refractory nozzle insulation available The high temperature thermocouple TC83 Calitum® in Sapphire design, is built on a legacy of more than 25 years of successful deployment of sapphire technology in high temperature applications with presence of hydrogen. Secondary sealing prevents the escape of toxic process gases Sapphire protection...
