For the Upstream Industry
Merichem Technologies offers multiple solutions for sulfur treatment from both liquid and gas streams. This includes H2S removal and mercaptan removal or sweetening.
We offer standard solutions for treating H2S using SULFURTRAP® adsorbent skids and LO-CAT® units as well as mercaptan sweetening and removal units to provide faster solutions in a fast-paced industry. We also offer custom solutions depending on our client’s needs.
Merichem Technologies has developed and delivered proven solutions for contaminant removal. From engineering and fabrication to testing and support—if you have a problem, we’ll help you solve it.

We offer proven standard and custom H2S treatment solutions engineered to perform across a wide range of operating conditions, from low ppm, low-rate applications to high ppm streams requiring removal of up to 20 tons of sulfur per day. When mercaptans are present, we offer reliable solutions to sweeten or remove them.
H2S Removal Solutions
- Adsorbents (gas and liquid treatment):
Merichem Technologies offers a full line of treatment options, both for sale or lease, using our own adsorbent line of SULFURTRAP® and OXYTRAP® products. Some of these products will also remove low levels of oxygen (O2 and mercaptans (RSH)). This solution is excellent for low-tonnage H2S applications.
Learn more about H2S Removal with SULFURTRAP® - Liquid Redox (gas treatment):
Merichem Technologies offers a technology solution, called LO-CAT®, to remove H2S from almost any gas stream. This solution is excellent high tonnage H2S applications of sulfur removed. This solution can be sold as a standard or custom designed unit, depending on client’s size and performance requirements.

Merichem Technologies offers caustic and amine-based solutions using our FIBER-FILM® technology, both standard and custom to remove H2S from liquid and gas streams.

Mercaptan Removal Solutions (RSH)
Standard and custom mercaptan removal solutions are available depending on flow rate and composition of the stream being treated.
- Caustic based mercaptan removal while reducing total sulfur:
We have the perfect solution for removing lighter mercaptans from liquid hydrocarbon streams, specifically LPG, NGL, LNG, and Natural Gas.
Learn more about removing RSH with THIOLEX™ - Caustic based mercaptan sweetening to pass mercaptan specifications affordably without reducing total sulfur in Condensates and Light Crudes:
We offer units that are perfect for sweetening mercaptans in condensate or light crude streams.
Learn more about sweetening RSH with MERICAT™ - Solid catalyst:
We have a copper-based solid catalyst used for the conversion of light mercaptans to disulfide oil in light hydrocarbon streams with smaller flow rates.

Need to remove COS, and Naphthenic Acids (RCOOH)?
Our AMINEX™ technology can be used as part of a full amine treating system in LPG units to remove amine carryover and provide a final polishing step.
Our AMINEX™ and THIOLEX™ units can also be used to remove carbonyl sulfide (COS) from lighter hydrocarbon streams.
Our NAPFINING™ technology can be used to remove naphthenic acids from condensates to prevent serious emulsion issues and formation in your processing steps.
Maximizing Efficiency with Industry Leading, Cost-Effective Solutions
In Merichem’s commitment to sustainability, we offer small footprint systems tailored to your H2S removal needs. Our fixed-bed SULFURTRAP® adsorbent vessels are available in low-cost modular skids for lease or purchase, ideal for low tonnage H2S streams requiring lower cost per MCF treatment. For higher capacity applications, our LO-CAT® redox technology provides continuous H2S removal for high tonnage H2S streams with reliable, low operating cost performance. See our H2S gas stream treatment chart or speak with one of our experts for assistance.
Backed by over 50 years of global gas treating experience, Merichem Technologies delivers flexible solutions to meet both urgent and long-term H2S removal requirements.
