Sulfur recovery is a crucial part of modern refining, ensuring environmental sustainability and compliance with global emission standards. At Duqm Refinery, our Sulfur Recovery Units (SRU) play a vital role in minimizing sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions while recovering high-purity sulfur for commercial use.
During the refining process, crude oil contains significant amounts of sulfur, which, if not properly treated, can lead to harmful emissions and acid rain. Our Claus process-based sulfur recovery units effectively convert hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) into elemental sulfur, reducing environmental impact.
Our refinery adheres to strict environmental regulations, such as the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2020 sulfur cap and Euro 6 fuel emission standards. This ensures that our diesel and fuel products have ultra-low sulfur content, helping industries reduce their carbon footprint.
In addition to fuel desulfurization, our recovered sulfur is supplied to industries such as fertilizers, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, adding commercial value while maintaining ecological responsibility.
We integrate tail gas treating units (TGTU) alongside our SRU systems to maximize sulfur recovery efficiency. This ensures that over 99% of sulfur compounds are captured and converted into usable products instead of being released into the atmosphere.
To further reduce emissions, our refinery uses flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology, which captures any remaining sulfur oxides, preventing their release into the air.
By implementing real-time emissions monitoring and process optimization, we maintain continuous compliance with environmental regulations, making our operations one of the most sustainable in the region.
Sustainability is a key pillar of our operations. Beyond sulfur recovery, we have adopted carbon capture technologies and waste heat recovery systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce our overall emissions.
Our environmental compliance strategies extend beyond refining; we collaborate with government agencies and environmental organizations to ensure sustainable energy practices that benefit both industry and the community.
We continuously invest in research and development to improve sulfur recovery technologies, ensuring that we stay ahead of regulatory changes while meeting global demand for cleaner fuels.
