The Sorbead Quick-Cycle Process For Simultaneous Removal of water , heavy Hydrocarbons and Mercaptans from Natural Gas Presented at the Laurance Reid Gas Conditioning Conference February 25-27, 2007 Michael Mitariten, Guild Associates, Inc. Dublin, OH 908-752-6420 Dr. Waldemar Lind Engelhard Process Chemicals GmbH Hannover, Germany +49-511-2886-762 Abstract Used for decades, BASF Sorbead oil-drop silica gel is a premium silica gel-based adsorbent that allows the single step removal of both heavy hydrocarbons and water from natural gas ( Quick-Cycle units ) as well as for natural gas dehydration. Recent developments in the Quick-Cycle Process allow the removal of heavy hydrocarbons, mercaptans, water and, through integration with amine treating, enables H2S / CO2 removal without an additional dehydration unit. The benefits of the improved Quick-Cycle Process can include amine plant operations with reduced foaming, improved sulfur recovery rates, longer Claus catalyst lifetimes, simplification of propane and LPG mercaptan treating, and the ability to integrate non-regenerable mercury traps at an earlier stage of processing and the production of dehydrated product.
