Afterburner with Quench & Scrubber for Petrochemical Operations
The Challenge A leader in Latin America’s Chemical and Petrochemical Industry needed equipment to oxidize Hydrogen Sulphide and removal of SO 2 /SO 3 . The chemical plant generated large quantities of exhaust enriched with H 2 S, water vapor and air, which were costing the facility exorbitant amounts to properly dispose of . The company went out seeking the technical solutions and went to several manufacturers to locate the best possible technology. The Solution Epcon has built several systems for Chemical companies for similar applications for removal of H 2 S and acid gases and used their prior experience to asses the appropriate technology. Epcon evaluated several technologies and decided on an Afterburner with Quench and Scrubber as the best solution for this application. Other types of oxidizers can be used, but based on their small flow and high heat release from VOC’s we chose an Afterburner. Epcon also designed and installed Quench ...
