Chloride Removal (Activated Carbon)

Chloride Removal Adsorbent (Activated Carbon-Based) by B.F.S

Efficient Chloride Capture for Corrosion Prevention and Catalyst Protection

B.F.S offers a specialized Activated Carbon-Based Chloride Removal Adsorbent, designed to effectively eliminate organic and inorganic chlorides from gas and liquid hydrocarbon streams. Chloride impurities, even in trace amounts, pose serious risks to equipment integrity, process reliability, and catalyst lifespan—especially in refining, petrochemical, and polymer industries. Our advanced carbon-based adsorbent provides superior adsorption capacity, thermal stability, and broad chemical compatibility.

Product Overview

This unique adsorbent is based on high-surface-area activated carbon, further impregnated with metal oxides or alkaline compounds that react with or physically trap chloride species. It efficiently removes:

Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Organic chlorides (e.g., methyl chloride, ethyl chloride)
Inorganic chlorides
Chlorinated solvents and byproducts

Key Advantages

✅ High Chloride Adsorption Capacity Effectively captures both gas-phase and dissolved chlorides.
✅ Wide Operating Temperature Functions reliably from ambient to 250°C, depending on application.
✅ Protects Sensitive Equipment Prevents corrosion, fouling, and catalyst deactivation.
✅ Customizable Formulations Available in acid-neutralizing, moisture-tolerant, or high-capacity grades.
✅ Easy Handling Supplied as pellets or granules with low dusting and excellent mechanical strength.

Typical Applications

Refinery and Petrochemical Units
- Chloride removal upstream of hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, and steam crackers
- Guard beds for FCC units, alkylation feeds, and naphtha streams
Polymer & Plastic Production
- Ensures polymer-grade feedstocks free of chlorides
Natural Gas & LPG Purification
- Removes chlorinated species that may originate from compressors or contaminated wells
Solvent and Aromatics Processing
- Captures residual chlorinated solvents and degradation products
