SRU Claus catalyst refers to a gas desulfurizing process, or Claus process, which recovers elemental sulfur from gaseous hydrogen sulfide.
The SRU Claus catalyst recovers, in addition to the sulfur from the gaseous hydrogen sulfide found in raw natural gas, hydrogen sulfide that is contained in by-product gases and derived from refining crude oil and other industrial processes. Our PSR sulfur recovery claus catalyst, with alumina or titania acting as the carrier, is made by adding promoter and caking agent. The catalyst is used in the Claus units for sulfur recovery from acidic gases containing H2S and organic sulfides like COS and CS2, with the total sulfur conversion rate up to 95% or even higher.
SRU Claus catalyst is commonly applied in the oil refinery, fertilizer, natural gas, petrochemical industries, and others.

Note: mark of * refers to the calculation based on H2S content of 60 percent(ν) in acid gas and maximum sulfur conversion rate, as well as by means of the analyzer and detector with H2S/SO2 on-line proportion analysis and control. For the device for high-temperature thermal admix and grade-2 catalytic conversion, the filling volume of PSR-41 catalyst accounts for 1/3~1/2 the bed volume. In case that H2S content in acid gas is less than 40%(ν), the filling volume of PSR-41 catalyst shall account for 1/2~2/3 the bed volume, and the filling volume of PSR-31 catalyst shall account for 1/3~1/2 the bed volume.

XR(Xiangrun) has the most extensive line of Claus Catalysts in the industry. In addition to non-promoted and promoted activated alumina, we offer two different titania catalysts along with a alumina/ titania composite catalyst. Two types of bed supports, both active and inert, are available with diameters ranging from 0.125″ to 2.0″.
Why Xiangrun Claus Catalysts?
XR(Xiangrun) offers a full range of claus catalysts with a large number of accessible surface active sites for H2S and S20 to react and form sulfur and water (high surface area), large pore volume distribution (high macroporosity), low bulk density which directly lowers catalyst expense, low abrasion and high strength which minimizes dust and fines and uniform size and shape for lower pressure drops.
