Solutions for Reducing Sulfur Dioxide Emissions

Binh Le explores how refineries can select technologies to mitigate sulfur dioxide emissions in downstream processes in the Hydrocarbon Engineering’s October 2025 issue.

Sulfur dioxide (SO_₂) is a significant emissions concern as a combustion byproduct of any sulfur containing substance. Selecting the optimum treatment for removing sulfur from hydrocarbon streams is a complex process involving a careful balance of technical, economic, and environmental factors. The key to reducing GHG emissions, while achieving product specs is choosing the right technology for your needs.
