H2S Removal
Hydrogen Sulfide, H2S, will cause corrosion in your gas engine. H2S, can be easily removed from methane or light hydrocarbon gas streams by selective permeation in Generon membrane modules. 90 to 99% reductions in H2S are achieved by simple 1 or 2 stage process that can also remove water vapor and CO2 from chiefly methane feed streams. Feed gas with H2S levels in the double-
Membrane Technology is competing against Amine systems which are used frequently but are complex and have high capital, operating, and installation costs, a relatively high fuel cost and potential environmental issues. Advantages of the Membrane Systems are:
- No moving parts, and designed for remote unmanned operation
- efficient packaging minimizes space and weight (ideal for offshore applications)
- Optimized process design to maximize total hydrocarbon recovery
- CO2 content can be adjusted to desired specifications
- Easy installation: skidded system can be installed in hours.
In a typical GENERON® membrane system for H2S removal the feed gas is filtered to remove particles and liquid condensate. The feed gas is then heated to an optimum operation temperature and ready to enter the GENERON® membrane modules. H2S gas permeates preferred through the membrane walls. The non-
The System Performance:
- Feed Gas pressures up to 2,000 psi (138 bar)
- > 10 ppm to < 5 vol% H2S in feed
- > 90% recovery of hydro carbon gas
- Flow rates of 10 to 350,000 SCFM
