摘要

Cold Bed Adsorption (CBA) is a sulfur recovery technology that has been around since the 1970s, designed to achieve sulfur recovery levels between roughly 98.5-99.5%, depending on flowsheet configuration and acid gas quality. CBA technology takes advantage of lower-temperature, subdewpoint Claus reactor operation, which improves the Claus reaction equilibrium, converting more H2S and SO_2 to product sulfur. The subdewpoint reactor operation also takes advantage of adsorption of product sulfur vapor from the gas onto the catalyst surface, removing sulfur vapor from the gas. The process is cyclical. While in adsorption mode a catalyst bed operates in a low-temperature range where the produced sulfur adsorbs onto the catalyst surface. Before the adsorbed sulfur accumulates to a level deactivating the catalyst bed, the bed is heated to desorb the product sulfur. Switching valves rotate process flow through the catalyst beds and condensers, sequencing the beds through adsorption/desorption cycles over optimized time intervals. The sulfur recovery fluctuates accordingly. By allowing the beds to run at cooler temperatures for longer intervals, overall sulfur recovery levels can be made to increase. Numerous CBA flowsheet configurations and switching sequences have been implemented in the past. Improvements to the CBA process may now allow for competitive designs which achieve average daily sulfur recoveries at or above 99.5%. New schemes for process flow sequencing and sulfur condenser operation through 3-bed CBA designs offer improved sulfur recovery compared with past designs. Operating data from existing CBA plants are presented to demonstrate the sulfur recovery efficiency penalty avoided by using the new schemes. These improvements are yet to be tested in the field, but calculations suggest that the average sulphur recovery efficiency can be increased to above 99.5% for a 3-bed CBA operating on a rich acid gas.
