Summary:On the example of modernizing an SRU catalytic reactor of the elemental sulfur production workshop of the Copper Plant of Norilsk Nikel Mining and Metallurgical Company, the possibility is demonstrated of temperature regime optimization for a Claus industrial reactor. Data are presented for two years of inspection before and after catalytic reactor modernization, indicating that due to a change in the scheme for introducing processing gas there is a reduction by an order of magnitude of the temperature gradient within the catalytic reactor and an almost twofold reduction in its overall gas dynamic resistance.
