Landfill gas contains many pollutants. Among them is H2S which is known to be extremely toxic, highly corrosive, and foul-smelling. Maximum concentration thresholds for H2S vary from site-to-site and are limited either for technical reasons (to protect downstream equipment and machinery such as CHP’s, turbines, gas-upgrading equipment, etc.) and/or for regulatory reasons mandated by government agencies (i.e. air- quality standards, SO2 emissions, etc.).
To consistently achieve technical and regulatory compliance, a robust, economical and effective solution, such as FerroSorp® S – a high quality product Made in Germany – is required. For over 20 years FerroSorp® S has proven itself to be the best product for the job, even under some of the harshest, most-challenging gas conditions. The result is, that each year more and more sites around the globe opt for using FerroSorp® S as their solution to the H2S problem.
Gas containing H2S is passed through a filter vessel filled with FerroSorp® S media pellets. Two chemical reactions occur: First, H2S and iron hydroxide react to form solid iron sulphide. Second – either simultaneously or in a parallel vessel – oxygen converts the pellets back into iron hydroxide in a process called regeneration. Elemental sulphur is formed and accumulates within the pores of the media pellets, which results in high loading rates, long media lifecycles, and minimised clumping.
