Providing solutions for your contaminant issues

Adsorbents are widely used in the petrochemical industry as an effective method for removing trace contaminants such as water and sulfur in the feed, intermediate and product streams.

The duty in ethylene plants can be especially demanding due to the nature of the streams processed. Proper adsorbent choice is critical given the reactivity of these streams. Our team of highly skilled experts can guide you through the product selection and design process for your specific application and act as an ongoing resource for process optimization suggestions and troubleshooting to help maintain efficiency at your plant.

Let us help optimize your operations by removing the following contaminants from key process streams in both ethylene and polymer plants:

  • Naptha feed – removal of Hg
  • Feed ethane – removal of H­2O, Hg, CH3OH, NH3, CO2
  • Cracked gas – H­2O, Hg, NH3
  • Cracked liquids – H­2O, Hg
  • Ethylene – ethane  (C2 Splitter dryer) – H­2O, CO2
  • Propylene – H­2O, COS, CH3OH, polars, arsine
  • Product ethylene – H­2O, CO2, Hg
  • Hydrogen – H­2O
