desulphurization of natural gas
Desulfurizing natural gas is an important link in the purifying it becomes a useful energy source before transport, storage and use. Its main function is to remove sulfur compounds, particularly hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which not only poisonous and also corrosionable will bring environmental damage with combustion. The technical aspects of desulphurization include absorption towers for gas treatment with an absorbent: typically an aqueous solution of amines (such as their derivatives or salts), where the sulfur compounds are reacted and captured. Highly efficient, the process has advanced systems capable of removing over 99% of H2S. Desulphurisation is widely applied, including the refining of natural gas, oil and other petroleum products. It is also essential to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, as well as producing cleaner energy for industrial and domestic use.
