AGE Unit for Northwest Gas Refinery

To help raise sulfur and food-grade carbon dioxide production at Shahid Hasheminejad Gas Processing Company in Khorasan Razavi Province, an acid gas enrichment (AGE) unit has come on stream in the plant, the head of the refinery said.
“The project will help increase annual sulfur output in the plant by 11,000 tons and reduce SO2 emissions by 22,000 tons per year,” the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana also quoted Yahya Feyzi as saying.
The plan is aimed at reducing fuel and catalyst consumption by 14 million cubic meters and 110 tons per year respectively, he added.
