Issued by
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Sulphur, a by-product of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), has many industrial uses. This course describes the processes used to break down H2S separated from natural gas by sweetening processes. The Claus process is discussed in detail. Learn about the operation of a sulphur plant, including process control and air quality considerations. The handling, storage and shipping of sulphur are described.
