sulfur removal
Purifying fossil fuels
Sulfur removal is the process of extracting sulfur compounds from fuels, gases, or other materials.
In petroleum refining, sulfur removal produces cleaner-burning fuels that meet environmental regulations: The refinery upgraded its sulfur removal capacity.
Natural gas undergoes sulfur removal before distribution to prevent corrosion and toxic emissions.
