The invention belongs to the field of
sulfur recovery, and particularly relates to an SWSR-8 pressurization
sulfur recovery process. The process comprises the steps that
acid gas enters a
sulfur making furnace, H2S is subjected to a high-temperature Claus reaction and converted into sulfur, and sulfur enters a two-stage converter to conduct two stage catalytic conversion for recovering sulfur; sulfur making
tail gas enters a hydrogenation reactor, under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst, SO2 and COS are reduced to H2S through hydrogenation
hydrolysis, reduced H2S gas is absorbed with an MDEA solution, and after purified
tail gas recovers heat through
incineration,
flue gas is exhausted to the
atmosphere through a
chimney, wherein the pressure of
acid gas entering the sulfur making furnace ranges from 90 kPa(g) to 120 kPa(g), and the pressure of the sulfur making furnace ranges from 90m kPa(g) to 120 kPa(g). The pressure of cooling and heat exchange equipment such as a sulfur making
waste heat furnace, a first stage sulfur condenser, a second stage sulfur condenser, a third stage sulfur condenser, a steam generator and a
tail gas
waste heat boiler is higher than that in the prior art, the total
heat transfer coefficient is increased, the occupied area is decreased, catalytic and absorption reactions can be conducted conveniently, the sulfur
recovery rate is increased, and SO2
discharge is reduced.
