BASF Claus Catalysts and Tail Gas Treatment Solutions combine the strength of BASF, the global leader in catalysis, with the experience and expertise of our chemists and engineers.
Sulfur recovery is an important process for natural gas processing plants and refineries. The raw feed streams often contain gases, such as H2S and CO2. H2S is a highly toxic gas and contributes to SO2 emissions. To comply with environmental regulations, the sulfur species are converted to elemental sulfur and water via sulfur recovery technologies such as Claus Sulfur Recovery Units and Tail Gas Treatment Units (Figure1). BASF has high-quality products, proven technologies, and reliable services to meet your expectations and requirements.

BASF offers superior catalysts and proven technologies for high sulfur recovery to achieve the desired performance and to meet environmental requirements for sulfur emissions.
BASF has the most extensive line of Claus Catalysts in the industry from one provider. In addition to non-promoted and promoted activated alumina catalysts, we offer titania catalyst and active and inert bed supports for the catalytic converters. BASF Claus Catalysts provide the quality needed for maximizing the performance of the SRU.
BASF offers Tail Gas Treatment Solutions to increase sulfur recovery from Claus tail gas. The solutions include catalysts and technologies that are proven for sulfur recovery to achieve the desired performance and to meet environmental requirements.
