Sulfur, Safety & Sustainability

Juan Gonzalez considers how refineries and petrochemical operations can reduce sulfur emissions for increased safety and sustainability in Hydrocarbon Engineering’s 2025 EnviroTech issue.

Operators and processors continue to push for greater efficiency, cost control, and safety, optimizing every stage of their systems. With H₂S naturally present in both natural gas and petroleum, and these streams collectively suppling more than 50% of the world’s energy demand, removal is essential to protect personnel and assets, reduce sulfur emissions, and ensure regulatory compliance. Effective H₂S management remains central to maintaining reliable, sustainable hydrocarbon processing.
