Abstract:
1. A reactor of the type configured for performing the Claus process comprising: a combustion chamber; a plurality of first input ports for introducing a fluid containing hydrogen sulfide into the combustion chamber; a plurality of second input ports for introducing an oxidizer fluid into the combustion chamber for reacting with the fluid containing hydrogen sulfide; means for pre-heating the oxidizer fluid and being in fluid communication with the plurality of second input ports; at least one output port in fluid communication with the combustion chamber for exhausting fluids out of the combustion chamber; and means for controlling the introduction of said oxidizer fluid into the combustion chamber for controlling formation of a thermal distribution flow pattern within the combustion chamber, wherein the thermal distribution flow pattern operates as an induced jet pump for circulating the fluids within the combustion chamber.
