Zagros petrochemical company is located in Pars Special Economic Energy Zone and produces 1.6 million tons per year of methanol. It obtains natural gas feedstock from the South Pars Gas Field. The company has several operational units including a reforming unit, methanol synthesis unit, and distillation unit. The reforming unit removes sulfur from the natural gas via desulfurization reactors and then performs prereforming, steam reforming, and autothermal reforming to produce syngas for the methanol synthesis unit.

8. Desulphurization:
*since catalysts in the reforming section are extremely sensitive to Sulphur
compounds.
I. recycle hydrogen is added to the natural gas
II. The natural gas feed is preheated in 2 exchanger
III. Hydrogenation reactor conversion of organic Sulphur compounds to H2S
Desulphurization reactor: H2S + ZnO ZnS + H2O
