    The Sulfur Guard Bed protects downstream products from sulfur in feeds using nickel or copper adsorbents to chemically capture sulfur. It reduces sulfur levels safely for transportation and automotive use and guards against process upsets that could increase sulfur. The heated feed flows down through the carbon steel vessel containing layered adsorbent and support material, which captures sulfur and prevents losses from the outlet.

    Sulfur Guard Bed

    The purpose of the Sulfur Guard Bed is to protect the DHDS product from sulfur in the
    liquid feed. The Sulfur Guard Bed reduces the sulfur to a safe level to be transported and
    distributed to be used by automobiles and serves as protection against upsets in the product
    which could result in higher than normal levels of sulfur in the feed.

    The Sulfur Guard Bed is loaded with either UOP ADS-11L (nickel) or ADS-12/ADS- 120
    (copper) adsorbent designed to chemisorb sulfur from the liquid feed. The feedstock is
    heated to the required temperature for sulfur removal, usually between 121°C to 150°C and
    passed downflow over the adsorbent.

    The Sulfur Guard Bed vessel is constructed of carbon steel. The bottom of the vessel is
    equipped with an outlet collector to prevent loss of adsorbent or support material. The
    adsorbent is loaded between a graduated system of ceramic/alumina inert balls. The vessel
    operates liquid full with the feed entering the Guard Bed through an inlet pipe.
