Project related text:
The project involves removal of hydrogen sulfide from APG for the purpose of using treated APG for the field needs, producing elemental sulfur and reducing emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. 
The main facilities to be put into operation under the project are a gas treatment plant and a sulfur recovery plant with a sulfur storage facility. An absorption method is used for removal of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from gas. The Claus process is used for sulfur recovery. The design gas treatment capacity of the plant is 586 million m3 of APG per year. The design output of the sulfur recovery plant is 22.4 thousand tonnes of sulfur per year.
Commissioning of the gas treatment plant allowes utilization of APG as a fuel for the needs of the Energy Center and also as a stripping agent for hydrogen sulfide removal from crude oil at the production site of Yuzhno-Khylchuyuskoe field instead of natural gas. Part of treated APG is used for auxiliary needs of the project facilities (in desulfurization boiler house).
Current status of the project Operational
Total verified emission reductions 0.0 t CO2 equivalent
