natural gas processing

People make the difference. Quality products do the rest. Our approach is unique. We supply site operators and service companies throughout Europe with activated carbon.

Natural gas is an important energy source and raw material for the chemical industry. It consists mainly of methane and other higher, gaseous hydrocarbons with different compositions. Furthermore, it contains various trace gases such as hydrogen sulfide. For the subsequent feed into the natural gas network and use, consistent quality is of the utmost importance. The removal of hydrogen sulfide from the raw natural gas or the hydrogen sulfide produced in the storage tanks is achieved by adsorption on suitable activated carbon.
Another area in the treatment of natural gas is the removal of mercury, as this can lead to corrosion phenomena in the form of amalgam formation on the heat exchangers if they are made of aluminum.

UNICARB® activated carbons have the properties needed to accomplish these diverse tasks. To this end, we make use of our wide range of high-quality activated carbons.

OUR APPROACH

We take the time needed because the boundary conditions and concentrations differ for each natural gas processing. Our experts examine and evaluate each case separately and develop the optimal solution.

OUR SOLUTION

We can respond to different requirements with our broad product portfolio and offer the right product. Our focus is on activated carbons based on renewable raw materials, but classic activated carbon types are also part of the solution. The idea of recycling is also a core aspect through reactivation.
