Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide gas is present in hydrothermal waters that are useful for electric power production. Previous schemes for H2S emission control increase the costs of geothermal power. A modification of the classical Claus process for producing sulfur from H2S is compatible with many geothermal plant designs. In the presence of a market for sulfur, use of the process could decrease geothermal power costs.
