Eliminate COS from Upstream and Midstream Process Streams

Merichem® has proven solutions for removing corrosive carbonyl sulfide in pipelines, process equipment, pumps, vessels and tanks before COS is hydrolyzed into H2S and CO2.

THIOLEX: Caustic Extraction of Contaminants

Targets: COS as well as small amounts of H2S, CO2 and RSH

Use: Caustic alone or mixed with MEA hydrolyzes and extracts COS from hydrocarbon, given sufficient contact time.

  • LPG
  • NLG
  • Condensate
  • Naphtha
  • Acid / Sour Gas
  • Off Gas
  • Fuel Gas
  • Natural Gas

AMINEX: Amine Extraction of Acid Gas

Targets: COS as well as small amounts of H2S and CO2

Use: A secondary, lean amine extracts COS from hydrocarbon, given sufficient contact time.

Applicable Feedstocks:

  • LPG
  • NGL
  • Condensate
  • Naphtha
