Hybrid Multiscale Forecasting of SRU Sulfur Gas Concentrations Using VMD CEEMDAN and Optimized PatchTST The sulfur recovery process in SRUs is highly nonlinear and non-stationary, making accurate forecasting of H2S and SO2 concentrations challenging yet crucial for efficient, low-carbon operation. Many ...

Todays highlight is by Wenzhe Sun and colleagues. An AI-powered approach that improves H2S/SO2 forecasting in sulfur recovery units, helping refineries cut emissions😶‍🌫️ and run more efficiently.
