Thermax wins Rs 1,176 cr order to install sulphur recovery block

01 Apr 2022

Thermax Ltd, an Indian engineering company, has bagged a Rs 1,176 crore order from an Indian public sector refinery to install their sulphur recovery block on a lump-sum turnkey (LSTK) basis.

The sulphur recovery block comprises 2×240 TPD sulphur recovery unit (SRU) along with tail gas treatment unit (TGTU), 690 TPH amine regeneration unit (ARU), 200 TPH sour water stripper – phenolic and 95 TPH sour water stripper non-phenolic.

Decreasing the sulphur content in fuels generated by the refinery is significant for emission control. The sulphur recovery unit transforms the hydrogen sulphide gas produced during the process to elemental sulphur, thus reducing the amount of sulphur compounds issued into the atmosphere.

The sulphur recovery block will be a part of the customer’s ongoing refinery development project. This landmark project is being pursued as a part of the government of India’s North East Hydrocarbon Vision 2030. The project will immensely add to the nation's development as well as the economic growth of the entire north-eastern area.

The scope of supply comprises project management, engineering, acquisition, manufacturing, development, and commissioning of the sulphur recovery block. The project is scheduled to be achieved in 28 months.
