LO CAT® Applications

Safe, Trouble Free Operation

LO CAT® systems have proved themselves in several industries, including oil and gas production, biogas from anaerobic digesters, coke oven gas desulfurization, CO2 purification, geothermal steam production, oil refining, odor control for municipal wastewater treatment, landfill gas, ventilation air treatment, and others. Anaerobic Processes include LO CAT® units for natural gas, refinery fuel gas, sour water stripper gas, synthetic gas from coal gasification, steel mill/coke oven gas, sewage plant digester gas, claus tail gas, CO2 production, and EOR.  Aerobic Processes include LO CAT® units for manufacturing process vents, sewage plants, wastewater treatment, and process effluent. Autocirculation Processes include LO CAT® units for amine acid gas, chemical plants, and geothermal non-condensible gases. Specific applications include:
