Industrial gases such as synthesis gas (syngas) and CO2- rich gas for CO2-production usually contain hydrogen sulfide, especially when produced from coal, decaying biomass or other sulfur-rich raw materials. The toxic, corrosive effects of H2S are well-documented and contribute to decreased gas quality. In some cases, H2S may also result in the production of dangerous SO2 emissions. Because industrial applications operate under such broad varieties of conditions as far as pressure, temperature, H2S freight, humidity are concerned, it is critical for plant operators to utilize technology that is proven, versatile, and economically feasible for their applications. Our FerroSorp® S media pellets are specifically designed to easily overcome even the most challenging industrial conditions.
FerroSorp® S – a high quality product Made in Germany – is a pelletized and highly effective media based on iron hydroxide. 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.
Applicable for H2S-containing gases such as syngas, CO2-gas, geothermal fields and oil & gas-industry
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.
