Shell/Paques process
The process is suitable to applications where the practices of venting, incineration, or re-injection of the collected H2S are not desirable options. The system also allows the production of elemental sulfur for subsequent sale or use.
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.
The Shell/Paques process provides an unbeatable array of process advantages for removal of H2S from natural gas. Let our gas conditioning experts help you design and manufacture your bio-desulfurization systems with exceptional technical service and support.
