Lummus Technology specializes in providing effective sulfur control and Re ning 
removal solutions to the global re ning industry. A true EPC company, we Gasi cation
provide complete design-build services for Claus plant projects on a lump Natural Gas 
sum, turnkey basis. We’ve designed more than 125 sulfur plants, built more Processing

than 50 new Claus sulfur recovery units (SRUs) and revamped more than 75 Gas 
Processing
SRUs for re neries around the globe. These projects include more than 50 Technologies
units that utilize our patented oxygen enhancement technology.  Hydrogen &
Synthesis
Many re ners require additional Claus SRU capacity to meeting today’s Gas
emission standards, but SRU expansion and additional construction can be Production
costly. Lummus Technology’s patented oxygen enhancement solutions offer Sulfur

Services
Our oxygen enhancement technologies were developed for the thermal
stage of the Claus process. When applied to new SRUs or as retro ts, these Process
Planning &
enhancements can aid in processing di cult feed streams, increase Claus Development
plant capacity and reduce operating costs while optimizing sulfur recovery.

Proprietary and patented equipment

Lummus Technology has several proprietary equipment items that we
believe improve the reliability of the SRU and are integral to achieving the
desired recovery performance: 

Claus Combustor™ Acid Gas Burner—The Claus Combustor is our

proprietary burner designed speci cally for sulfur recovery unit service. It
provides thorough mixing of the air and acid gases for high combustion
e ciency and complete ammonia destruction, and is suitable for oxygen-
enhanced modes of operation.
SulfSep™ Sulfur Entrainment Separator—The SulfSep sulfur entrainment
separator is a vane-style impingement separator speci cally designed to
minimize sulfur carryover from sulfur plant condenser plenums. It has a
removal e ciency of 100% of droplets 10 to 13 microns and larger. Each
Lummus Technology SRU is equipped with one of these devices in each
condensing pass.
Degassing Spray Nozzles—Lummus Technology’s proprietary spray
nozzles are used in our liquid sulfur degassing system. They are designed
