<p>Ammonia-containing sour gas is combusted at high flame temperature with at least 90 percent purity oxygen in an externally cooled combustor, the ammonia-free product is cooled, then, in conjunction with additional acid gas which does not contain ammonia, is passed to a Claus furnace wherein less than one-third of the hydrogen sulfide is combusted with oxygen enriched air enabling boosting sulfur recovery in a Claus plant without detrimental effects on catalyst life, furnace refractories and pressure drops. <IMAGE></p> |
