PTI has helped industries reduce their sulfur emissions since our founding in 1997, our senior leadership team has dedicated a significant portion of our careers supporting the operations and environmental needs of producers dealing with sulfur-bearing waste streams.

Our project portfolio includes over 21 major design-build, and numerous revamp and support projects in the Sulfur Block and gas processing facilities of major refiners, midstream gas processors, independent refiners, specialty petroleum products producers, co-ops, and renewable energy operations in the United States and internationally.

Our projects range from technology development and consulting, debottlenecking studies, control and process equipment upgrades, to complete green-field turn-key engineering, procurement, and construction – Traditional sulfur recovery units, cold bed absorption units, oxygen enrichment, sulfur scavengers, amine treating, sour water treating, sulfur degassing, sulfur handling, solidification/pelletization, SRU tail gas treating, thermal oxidizers, and flue gas scrubbing.

If your product or gas stream contains sulfur, we can help you address it.

Small Capacity Sulfur Recovery

A change in domestic crude feedstocks and increasingly stringent state and federal environmental regulations have raised the demand for small capacity Sulfur Recovery Units in a broader range of process plants.

Principal Technology specializes in turn-key modular units from under 2 to 50 LTPD, affording us unique experience and capabilities to address specific issues of small capacity sulfur recovery, including Heat Conservation, Temperature Management, and Equipment Design to meet the particular needs of small capacity operations while reducing overall cost.

Traditional and Large Capacity Sulfur Recovery Units

Traditional and Large Capacity Sulfur Recovery Units

While we have developed a niche in the small capacity sulfur recovery market, our engineering team is no stranger to large capacity multi-unit, 1000+ LTPD sulfur blocks operating traditional and oxygen-enriched technologies.  

Consulting, process equipment design or design-build, sulfur burners, oxygen enrichment systems, specialty tail gas valves, and sulfur vane separators (ESREs(TM)) are just a few of our team’s capabilities that we can bring to your Sulfur Block.
