30 ton sulphur recovery unit, turnkey modular construction built and tested off-site prior to shipment.
Innovations:
This SRU weighing 350 tons at load-out was built in stacked and bolted modular sections.

This unit was installed as part of a larger plant expansion in record time with minimal interference to the other projects at the site.
