ABSTRACT:
A process for treating sulfur at elevated pressures by which the sulfur may be separated from a process gas in a separation vessel, sent to one or more transfer vessels, and the transfer vessel(s) vented to depressurize the sulfur to near atmospheric pressure. The sulfur may subsequently be transferred to ambient storage or other desirable use. The sulfur exiting the separation vessel may also be transferred to an intermediate vessel. The rate of transfer of the sulfur throughout the process may be controlled by controlling the pressure differentials between the various vessels.
