In the refining of crude oil and the treatment of sour natural gas, managing sulphur emissions is one of the most pressing environmental challenges. Sour gas streams are rich in hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and other sulphur compounds, which must be treated to prevent harmful emissions such as SO₂ from entering the atmosphere.
Beyond compliance, sulphur removal unlocks new value streams by enabling the production of commercial-grade sulphur and other by-products. As environmental regulations become more stringent, the energy industry must adopt sulphur recovery solutions that are not only efficient and reliable, but also contribute to circular resource use.
How Does NX SulphuRec™ Enable High-Efficiency Sulphur Recovery and Emission Reduction?
NX SulphuRec™ is NEXTCHEM’s advanced portfolio of Sulphur Recovery Technologies (SRT), built on Modified Claus and Tail Gas Treatment processes. These solutions are designed to reduce the environmental impact of sour gases and can be upgraded for decarbonization.
With over 50 years of experience and more than 90 projects delivered worldwide, NX SulphuRec™ is trusted across upstream gas processing and downstream refining. From feasibility studies and licensing to digital services like Operator Training Simulators (OTS) and Digital Process Monitoring (DPM), our offering supports the full lifecycle of sulphur recovery units.
Whether you're tackling SO₂ emissions, optimizing feedstock flexibility, or aiming for 99.9%+ sulphur recovery efficiency, NX SulphuRec™ delivers robust, scalable solutions for a cleaner energy future.
Sulphur Industrial Applications
- Gas fields: purification of sour gases from gas & oil reservoir
- Petroleum refining: purification of sour gases and liquid effluent from refining of crude oil
Nextchem Technologies for Sulphur
Nextchem Sulphur Recovery Technologies is the right solution to tackle the higher demand in Oil & Gas desulphurization and the more stringent regulations in terms of sulphur emissions to the atmosphere.
With RAR2 and RAR2 Multipurpose technologies, the SO2 emissions can be easily lowered below 150 mg/Nm3.

Our solution for the purification of crude oil and gas. This is a technology for cleaning of exhausted gases of refineries and gases of methane resorvoir for a safer distribution.
Nextchem offers:
