BTX Removal

Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) can be present in natural gas and can lead to operational challenges if not removed early in the process of a gas treatment plant. For example, BTX can cause significantly reduced lifetime of the Claus catalysts in sulfur recovery plants. In LNG production BTX needs to be removed to prevent freezing in the cryogenic part of the process. Sorbead HRU technology can be tailored to remove BTX upstream in gas treatment processes. Sorbead H adsorbent removes BTX along with other heavy hydrocarbons and water resulting in BTX rich condensate.
