New design features enhance separation performance
The Shell Schoepentoeter™ is a vane-type inlet device for feeding high momentum gas-liquid mixtures into separators or distillation columns. The Schoepentoeter has two main functions: separating the liquid from the vapor and evenly distributing the vapor in the gas compartment of the vessel. While Schoepentoeters have been recognized as the primary choice of radial inlet device in many separator vessels, performance in distillation columns has been challenged by proponents ...

Optimisation of a sulphur recovery unit
Prior to Suncor’s purchase of the Spirit River facility, little attention was given to the LO-CAT® unit. In general, over injecting chemicals into a LO-CAT unit will not result in operating problems, just higher than required operating costs. Consequently, in remote gas plants such as Spirit River, it is sometimes difficult to convince operators to change operating conditions if the unit is not presenting any operating problems. However, this is not Suncor’s operating ...

Optimised Pressure Swing Adsorption
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a well-established gas separation process in hydrogen purification, helium purification and air separation among others. In addition to engineering, the adsorbents selected and employed in the PSA process are extremely important in determining the performance of a PSA unit. Loading Diagram There are a significant number of contaminants that require removal from a standard gas stream. Different layers of adsorbents are commonly used to remove ...

Purification by catalytic oxidation
Most industrial and power applications produce off gases that are harmful to health, the environment or have global warming potential, such as CO2, CO, hydrocarbons etc. As the world is pledging to reduce global warming to below 1.5° C compared to pre‐industrial levels, removing or re‐using these gases is crucial to achieve this target. Catalytic oxidation is a facile and economic process to remove a wide range of impurities from industrial gas streams as part of feedstock, ...

Purification solutions for the Gas Processing industry
Johnson Matthey’s PURASPECTM absorbents are the industry choice for longest bed life and toughest duties. PURASPEC technology utilises metal oxides specially engineered into robust granules to remove traces of contaminants from hydrocarbon gases and liquids. In particular, the absorbents are designed to remove mercury and a range of sulphur compounds – most frequently hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbonyl sulphide (COS). They are widely used for natural gas sweetening to meet ...
