Modeling of Reaction Furnace in Claus unit for Converting H2S to SO2 using Western Empirical Equation

Gases obtained from oil, gas and petrochemical industries contain large amount of H2S gas. This gas is harmful and damages equipments and transportation lines of natural gas. Also this gas deactivate the catalyst in various industries Hydrogen Sulfide is a pollutant of environment and should be separated from natural gas. Otherwise, sulfur dioxide gas is produced from combustion of natural gas which is a strong pollutant of environment.Claus process is used to remove hydrogen sulfide from natural gas. This process produces sulfur. In this work at first modeling and simulation of reaction furnace in Claus unit has been done. After that the results are compared with the results of sulsim software which is usual software for simulation of process like Claus process. The compared results show that this work can be a suitable substitution for sulsim software which is very expensive and hard to obtain.
