H2S Removal Vessel Systems

Packaged Lead-Lag Vessel System with SULFURTRAP® Adsorbent Media

Our Skid-Mounted Lead-Lag Vessel Systems using SULFURTRAP® adsorbents provide reliable H2S and light mercaptan removal for oil and gas, biogas, landfill gas and other industrial streams.

Designed for continuous operation, these packaged systems are in a vertical lead-lag configuration including SULFURTRAP® adsorbent media for maximizes sulfur loading, extends run life, and allows uninterrupted operation during media changeout.

Standard sizes are available for immediate lease or purchase, with custom engineered systems also available.

Why SULFURTRAP® Adsorbents?

SULFURTRAP® adsorbent media is engineered for high-performance H2S removal in variable conditions commonly found in oil & gas, biogas and landfill applications.

Key Performance Advantages:
  • High sulfur loading for extended run life
  • Low, stable pressure drop through end-of-run
  • Complete H2S removal
  • Handles fluctuating concentrations and flow rates
  • Performs reliably in CO2-rich streams
  • Easy and safe media change-outs
  • No O2 or high relative humidity needed

Selecting the right HS removal solution for your operations

Merichem Technologies has a solution for the H2S present in your streams. The chart offers suggested ranges for our SULFURTRAP® media and LO-CAT® liquid redox technology.

If your flow or H2S concentration is between the two areas, we are happy to help you confirm which system could be most appropriate based on the needs of your operations.

How It Works

SULFURTRAP® Skid-Mounted Vessel System has two vertical pressure vessels in lead-lag configuration. The sour stream is fed to the top section of the lead vessel passing through both vessels as in a series arrangement. Once the adsorbent in the lead vessel has been exhausted, the sour feed is redirected to only flow through the lag vessel loaded with fresh adsorbent. The lead vessel is then placed off-line to perform an adsorbent change-out. Finally, when the fresh adsorbent is loaded in the original lead vessel, the gas flow is reverted with the original lag vessel becoming the new lead vessel.
