Sulfur Removal

Sulfur Removal Adsorbent by B.F.S

Advanced Desulfurization Technology for Clean Fuel and Process Gas Purification

At B.F.S, we specialize in developing high-performance sulfur removal adsorbents engineered to eliminate hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), mercaptans, COS, and other sulfur-containing compounds from natural gas, biogas, syngas, and liquid hydrocarbon streams. Our adsorbents offer exceptional sulfur capacity, long operational life, and low pressure drop, ensuring reliable protection of downstream catalysts and compliance with environmental regulations.

Product Description

The B.F.S Sulfur Removal Adsorbent consists of metal oxide-based formulations (e.g., ZnO, CuO, Fe₂O₃, or proprietary mixed oxides) supported on high-surface-area carriers such as alumina or silica. These materials selectively react with or adsorb sulfur compounds through chemisorption or catalytic conversion, delivering ultra-low sulfur levels in treated streams.

Key Benefits

High Sulfur Capacity Can remove up to 30–50% sulfur by weight, depending on formulation and application.
Wide Applicability Effective for removal of H₂S, COS, mercaptans, thiophenes, and other organic sulfurs.
Low Operating Temperature Options Available for both ambient and elevated temperature operations (ambient to 400°C).
Long Service Life High crush strength and thermal stability lead to longer cycle times and fewer change-outs.
Custom Particle Sizes & Shapes Pellets, extrudates, spheres, or powders tailored to reactor design.

Applications

Our sulfur removal solutions are trusted across a wide range of industries:

Natural Gas and Biogas Treatment Removal of H₂S before compression, liquefaction, or grid injection.
Refinery & Petrochemical Streams Desulfurization before catalytic processes (e.g., reforming, hydrocracking).
Hydrogen Production Units Protection of steam reforming and methanation catalysts from sulfur poisoning.
Syngas & Ammonia Plants Ensuring sulfur-free feed for nickel-based reforming or iron-based synthesis catalysts.
Fuel Purification Treatment of LPG, diesel, or jet fuel to meet ultra-low sulfur standards.
