Merichem Technologies
2024 Sustainability Scorecard
Preventing Sulfur Dioxide & Acid Rain Through Sulfur Compound Removal
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions and acid rain have massive impacts on our environment. Mitigating these impacts requires removing sulfur compounds and other contaminants from various products.
In 2024, our technologies supported the advancement of clients’ ESG goals through collectively preventing over 1,347,000,000 pounds of SO2 and over 323,000,000 MSCF of acid gas from being released. These numbers include amounts avoided from the LO-CAT® and FIBER FILM® technologies and SULFURTRAP® adsorbents.
For over 50 years, clients have installed and used these technologies and adsorbents all over the world to ensure sulfur species including H2S and mercaptans are treated to drive reductions in SO2 production as well as protecting the world from acid rain and its impact.
Merichem’s technologies and adsorbents can be used in a multitude of applications. They have an impact in reducing flaring and recovering treated gases, and can also be used to treat landfill, agriculture and other gases that may be converted into renewable natural gas (RNG).
Merichem Technologies celebrates Earth Day as part of our mission to foster a brighter, cleaner future through excellence and environmental stewardship as well as the progress we’ve made in partnership with our clients.
We believe the next 50 years should have an even bigger impact on our clients’ sustainability efforts, on the industries we serve, and the health of our environment. Here’s to a cleaner, more sustainable future, and continuing the work that really matters.
