from the thermal section of the SRU. This also treats any COS in the feed to the SRU. All these features are implemented as part of the design features for this project. SO 2 -free flue gas from the stack and decarbonisation or carbon capture are currently very topical in the oil and gas industries, so RATE is offering advanced solutions to existing refineries and gas plants. Using oxygen enrichment in the SRU will reduce the flow rate, making it more economical to add other units to reduce SO 2 and CO 2 emissions. References Concawe, 2013.
