Abstract: A person attempting today to list all of the processes for treating gas would need a long sheet of paper. Five years ago there were three or four processes for cleaning H2S, SO2, and other sulfur compounds frcm Glaus plant tail gas, boiler and heater stack gases, and other effluent gas streams. Today there are over 50 identifiable processes using some 20 different techniques for treating these gases. Only a few ou these have been proven commercially feasible. This paper will not attempt to cover these new processes, but will discuss the existing commercially proven processes being used in our natural gas industry for removing CO2, H2S, and other trace sulfur compounds from natural gas streams. Even here, we have some 15 processes in three categories: (a) Those that extract the acid gas by chemical reaction (b) those that extract the acid gas by physical absorption in a solvent and (c) those that extract by adsorption on a solid bed. Some processes, such as sulfinol, use a combination of both chemical reaction and physical absorption.
