UOP Adsorbent for natural gas

Run a reliable and efficient gas processing plant with UOP adsorbents
UOPs broad range of adsorbents gives you the tools you need to process your natural gas streams
effectively. We can help remove contaminants to increase the value of your product streams and
protect your equipment. Let our team of highly skilled experts guide you through the product selection
and design process for your specific application. Our global team is an ongoing resource for process
optimization suggestions and troubleshooting to help maintain efficiency at your plant. Adsorbent uses
include:
Natural gas dehydration: MOLSIV adsorbents allow you to meet LNG or pipeline specifications.
Typical products used are UI-94, 4A-DG and in special cases, AW-500 molecular sieves.
Natural gas mercury removal: Prevent mercury from damaging equipment by using regenerative
HgSIV adsorbent in your dehydration beds or our GB adsorbents in non-regenerative mercury
removal units (MRUs).
Natural gas/LPG desulfurization: Let us help you chose the right adsorbent for H2S, mercaptan,
COS or sulfide removal. We have a broad range of solutions for your feed stream, contaminant level
and effluent requirements.
LNG peak shaving CO2 removal: Use our molecular sieves for both water and CO2 removal in peak
shaving plants.
