Professional services that enhance safety and improve your bottom line.






One troubleshooting scenario that SRE assisted with was to determine that when the amine plant was operated at different lean amine temperatures - it affected the hydrocarbon content of the acid gas. This in turn affected sulfur recovery. A second troubleshooting scenario was to determine that a leaking valve was causing a diminished sulfur recovery and they proposed a solution to temporarily address this. “

John is recognized both domestically as well as internationally as a predominant expert in the field of sulfur production and recovery, and I as a person who holds a leadership role have looked to John and SRE for technical knowledge and support during very difficult process situations.
John and his team using their unchallenged process knowledge and sound troubleshooting abilities have provided the correct actions and directions that my operations group has required in a reliable timely manner. All issues have concluded with positive outcomes resulting in minimized downtime and more efficient facility operation.
I have worked on several international projects utilizing Modified Claus Sulphur Units in the past several years in pre-commissioning and commissioning phases.
I have kept in correspondence with John and asked his opinion on issues that I would encounter during start-up and operation of these new processing units and have always been given sound advice that I was able to utilize and apply to bring positive outcomes to the projects I was working on.
I would fully recommend Sulphur Recovery Engineering to any organization in the sour gas industry that is having issues with their sulfur recovery unit without hesitation.”
