It starts with biological conversion of H2S to hydrophilic sulfur, which settles naturally without chemical wetting agents and virtually eliminates plugging in contactor chambers. This allows simpler, less costly process equipment and requires fewer, less expensive chemical additives.
Which means your Shell-Paques system is easier to operate and more reliable: 99+% availability in most cases. The naturally occurring thiobacillus bacteria are self-sustaining and self-regulating.
And then there’s the dry, biological sulfur that is reclaimed from the process. In fertilizer products it breaks down quickly in soil, becoming available to plants ten times faster than chemical sulfur.
Add it all together, and Shell-Paques provides an unbeatable array of process advantages for removal of H2S from natural gas. Let our industry leading gas conditioning system design experts show you how easy it is to put this technology to work for you. For more information, please email us at shell-paques@natco-us.com.
