Plant of hydrogen sulphide removal from coke oven gas

  • The capacity of  plants for hydrogen sulphide removal from coke oven gas makes up to 200 thousand nm3/ h. The capacity of single gas stream is 100 thousand nm3/ hour and more.
  • Coke oven gas cleaning by monoethanolamine method up to 0.05 g/nm3 and by vacuum-carbonate method up to 0.5 g/nm3 is used, as well as complex cleaning of coke oven gas from ammonia and hydrogen sulphide with decomposition of ammonia and production of commercial-grade elementary sulfur and sulfuric acid using highly effective catalysts.
  • Absorbers with metal structured packing are used to recover hydrogen sulphide. 
  • Spiral and plate heat exchangers are used when heating and cooling-down solutions and hydrogen sulphide gas.
