Adsorbents

Durasorb^® HG

Durasorb^{^®} HG is a high capacity, robust mercury adsorbent designed to operate in the harshest conditions

Durasorb^{^®} HG is a sulfided metal oxide adsorbent installed upstream in the LNG pre-treatment train to protect downstream equipment and materials from mercury contamination. Durasorb^{^®} HG has improved capacity and fast kinetics due to the optimal pore distribution, which allows fast diffusion of mercury into the core of the sphere.

Product Performance

SEM images show increased mercury penetration for Durasorb^{^®} HG compared to reference sample. These results highlight the improved efficiency of Durasorb^{^®} HG.

Reference sample

Durasorb^® HG

Lab test results show the unmatched material integrity of Durasorb^{^®} HG.

Durasorb^{^®} HG is easily removed from the vessel at the end of life due to material robustness. No loss of crush strength or fines generation in the presence of liquid water means no caking, no extreme techniques required for removal.

Durasorb^® HG maintains structural integrity in the presence of water.

Durasorb^® HG maintains capacity in the presence of hydrocarbons.

Durasorb^® HG has more capacity and shorter mass transfer zone relative to reference materials.

Durasorb^® HG exposed to 600 cycles of heating and cooling in the presence of water. It maintained structural integrity, only 0.6% fines were generated.
