Sulfur Overview

Bechtel’s Sulfur Technology Center coordinates the sulfur removal and recovery tech­nology applications in gas processing, refining, gasification, power generation, and other related industries.

Understanding and applying technology are vital aspects of the design and construction of process plants, and individual experience is an essential element for success. Main­taining a core technology team with in-depth experience provides the opportunity to apply proven design techniques, continue the development of design improvements, and keep abreast of emerging technologies developed by others.  Specialties in sulfur technology include:

• Gas and liquid treating
• Combustion system design
• Sulfur Plant Heat exchanger design
• Refractory system design
• Piping layout and planning
• Piping stress analysis
• Control instrumentation and systems
• Materials handling
• Environmental permitting
• Modularization
