LO-CAT® II Unit Meets Refinery Desulfurization Requirements

Under new directives to reduce sulfur in diesel and gasoline, European refineries are revising both their fuel production processes and their downstream desulfurization strategies. At the Irish Refining plc refinery near Whitegate Middleton, County Cork, Ireland, a LO-CAT® II H2S Oxidation System was selected for sulfur recovery based on the following criteria: 3 to 1 gas flowrate turndown, 3 to 1 H2S concentration turndown, H2S outlet concentration less than or equal to 10 ppmv, minimal operator attention, sulfur production suitable for agricultural use, and a reliable, proven process.
