FACT SHEET

# SHELL’S CANSOLV® SO2 SCRUBBING SYSTEM

## The industry’s leading, regenerable sulphur dioxide (SO2) control technology

## ![Shell Cansolv SO2 scrubbing system](https://catalysts.shell.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shell%20Cansolv%20SO2%20scrubbing%20system.png?width=175&name=Shell%20Cansolv%20SO2%20scrubbing%20system.png)

Strict environmental regulations, both at the refinery and in refined product markets, put pressure on a refiner to limit SO2 emissions and to generate refined products that contain less organic sulphur. 

### Refiners need to consider:

- Meeting ultra-low SO2 emissions limits
- Increasing the capacity of sulphur recovery units
- Maximising the use of high-sulphur residue fuels

#### Read the Shell Catalysts & Technologies CANSOLV SO2 Scrubbing System Fact Sheet

Learn how refiners can meet these challenges by leveraging next-gen technology a detailed process description of our patented technology.

Our regenerable SO2 scrubbing systems have been deployed in 20+ plants worldwide and have proven that SO2  emissions of <20 ppm can be achieved.
