Abstract
A process of producing degassed liquid sulfur within a horizontal sulfur condenser may include condensing a portion of a Claus process gas introduced into a condenser tube to produce liquid sulfur; creating first and second chambers above a liquid sulfur reservoir with a baffle; passing the liquid sulfur and the Claus process gas into the first chamber; forcing the Claus process gas from the liquid reservoir within the first chamber to the second chamber; causing a chemical reaction between dissolved hydrogen sulfide in the liquid sulfur and sulfur dioxide from the Claus process gas on a catalyst to produce elemental sulfur and reducing the dissolved HS content of the remaining sulfur; converting hydrogen sulfide by a Claus reaction; decomposing polysulfanes to hydrogen sulfide and sulfur, freeing elemental sulfur from hydrogen sulfide; forcing the Claus process bubbles from the liquid reservoir into the second chamber above the liquid reservoir.
