The new look of our newsletter reflects the added emphasis on new environmental issues facing our customers.

In this issue, you will find details how the right sulfur removal treatment solution can enhance the economical and operational profiles of lower volume gas wells.

In addition, the LO-CAT® II unit custom-built for Pertamina is removing 15 long tons per day (LT/D) of sulfur in Indonesia’s Mudi Field in East Java. The recovered sulfur is suitable for agricultural use

Details on our catalyst CAC-120 for sweetening heavy mercaptans are also provided by this link to our new product brochure.

With this updated newsletter, Gas Technology Products will continue to help you enhance your processes with timely information, bringing you news of market developments and key technology updates that affect your business.

Most importantly, we want to know what you need to make your processes more efficient and effective. Please tell us what you would like to see in this newsletter by contacting me at wrouleau@merichem.com

Gas Technology Products (GTP) offers both liquid and solid media desulfurization technologies to sweeten gas streams containing virtually any levels of hydrogen sulfide or mercaptans—for systems of widely ranging capacities. For any size or type application, GTP offers complete turnkey systems.

In this issue:

01. Can the Right Treatment Solution Enhance the Economical and Operational Profiles of Lower-Volume Sour Gas Wells?

Each application for sulfur removal has a unique set of circumstances. The first screening criteria in selecting the most cost-effective sulfur removal technology will likely be sulfur removal capacity. In cases where the application can economically be served by more than one technology, other factors to be considered are sensitivities to capital versus operating costs, operator involvement, sulfur movements, and disposal of waste streams.

02. High-Capacity, High Efficiency Sulfur Removal

To meet the need for efficient, cost effective sulfur removal from gas streams in Indonesia’s Mudi Field in East Java, Gas Technology Products (GTP) provided a custom built LO-CAT® II unit to remove 15 long tons per day (LT/D) of sulfur by treating 11 MMSCFD of sour associated gas, at 60 psig, containing 3.62 volume % H2S.

Pertamina PlantLearn how Pertamina (Indonesia’s state-run oil company) has eliminated 99.9+% of the H2S from their gas stream and recovered sulfur suitable for agricultural use. [More]

03. Catalytic Activated Carbon Catalyst Developed for Refinery Operations

CAC Brochure

Application information on a sweetening catalyst impregnated on activated carbon—a field proven design developed for treating heavier hydrocarbon fractions such as naptha, kersosene, jet fuel and diesel is provided in a new brochure to address refining industry operations requiring sweetening technology for heavy mercaptans.

04. Expansion Doubles Pinnacle Gas Plant’s Sulfur Handling Capacity.

A major plant expansion of the unit treating amine acid gas at the Pinnacle Gas Treating—Bethel Treating facility will more than double the plant’s sulfur handling capability from 9 long tons per day (LTPD) to 20 LTPD. The addition of an 11-LTPD LO-CAT® Hydrogen Sulfide Treatment System from Gas Technology Products division of Merichem Chemicals & Refinery Services LLC is being configured to join existing LO-CAT systems to significantly expand gas treating capacity at the plant with a proposed start-up date of June 2008.
