IntraMicron SourCat™ - Desulfurization Processes Unit
SourCat™ Desulfurization Processes: IntraMicron designs, sells, leases, and licenses a series of customizable modular catalytic sulfur removal and recovery skids to address the scalable gas desulfurization needs of the oil and gas, synthesis gas, biogas, process gas, tail gas, and hydrogen fuel industries.
Current desulfurization costs can account for >100% of the energy value for high-S resources; efficient gas cleanup is essential for economic resource utilization. Scalability and cost of SourCat™ technology is superior to established technologies across a range of desulfurization scales.
The patented SourCat™ desulfurization process employs a unique and proprietary catalyst that promotes the partial oxidation of H S and mercaptans to elemental sulfur. The catalyst is highly selective to elemental sulfur over SO . It can achieve high yield to elemental sulfur under a wide range of pressures, oxygen-to-sulfur ratios, and inlet sulfur concentrations. The catalyst has been evaluated in long-term bench scale evaluations where a single catalyst charge maintained high activity for over a year, even in the presence of contaminants such as ammonia and metal halides. The modular system has been evaluated at pilot scales where 95+% conversion of H S and COS to elemental sulfur was achieved in coal/biomass-derived syngas and in natural gas.
