Cost-effective solution for H2S and light organic sulphur removal on a wide variety of gases
Presented at Annual Conference, 13 - 15 September 2017 at Sofitel Chain Bridge Hotel, Budapest by
Olivier Ducreux and Conrad Scranton, Axens
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and light mercaptans (RSH) are common contaminants that require removal from natural gas associated gas landfill gas CO2 or biogas derived methane and cause foul air odour complaints around wastewater and industrial operations. Levels of hydrogen sulphide and light mercaptans can vary from a few parts per million to as much as percent levels. Removal of these sulphur components is accomplished with "Sulphur Scavengers" most often as the first step in the processing scheme. Axens provides dry media products which safely and effectively remove these common sulphur contaminants. Based on an industrial case study the presentation is going to emphasize the benefits of operating AxTrapTM products especially where streams are saturated with water. The removal of sulphur compounds from methane and CO2 streams enables the utilization of these greenhouse gases in applications to minimize environmental impact.
