A method and apparatus for removing sulfur from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream wherein desulfurization is enhanced by improving the contacting of the hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream and sulfur-sorbing solid particulates in a fluidized bed reactor (12). L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant d'extraire le soufre contenu dans un écoulement d'un fluide à teneur en hydrocarbure. La désulfuration est améliorée grâce à l'amélioration du contact entre l'écoulement du fluide à teneur en hydrocarbure et les particules solides absorbant le soufre dans un réacteur à lit fluidisé (12).
