Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina

Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina

Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina is a type of adsorbent material used to remove sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and mercaptans, from gas streams in various industrial applications. It is a proprietary product of Cabot Corporation, a specialty chemicals and performance materials company.

The Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina consists of alumina, a highly porous material with a high surface area that provides an excellent surface for adsorption. It is impregnated with a special mixture of metal oxides and other proprietary materials that provide high selectivity for the removal of sulfur compounds from gas streams.

The adsorbent material can be used in a variety of industrial applications, including the removal of sulfur compounds from natural gas, refinery gas, and other gas streams. The presence of sulfur compounds in gas streams can be problematic, causing corrosion and fouling in equipment and releasing harmful pollutants into the environment.

The Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina has been designed to provide a high capacity for sulfur compound adsorption, as well as excellent resistance to moisture and other contaminants. It is also highly resistant to high temperatures and can be used in a wide range of process conditions.

Overall, Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina is a highly effective and versatile adsorbent material that can help companies meet their sulfur compound removal needs in a variety of industrial applications.

Derived from Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH), promoted composite alumina for Superking SKAA- SG is suitable for use in gas phase sulphur species removal in polyolefin plants for trace removal of H2S and light mercaptans.

Product Applications:

Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina has a wide range of applications in various industries where the removal of sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and mercaptans, from gas streams is necessary. Some of the common applications of Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina are:

  • 1. Natural Gas Purification: Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina can be used to remove sulfur compounds from natural gas. Natural gas often contains sulfur compounds, such as H2S and mercaptans, which can be corrosive to equipment and harmful to the environment. Removing these sulfur compounds is important to prevent corrosion and protect the environment.
  • 2. Refinery Gas Purification: Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina can also be used to remove sulfur compounds from refinery gas. Refinery gas is a byproduct of oil refining and often contains sulfur compounds that can cause corrosion and other problems.
  • 3. Biogas Purification: Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina can be used to remove sulfur compounds from biogas, which is a renewable energy source generated from the decomposition of organic matter. Biogas often contains sulfur compounds, and removing these compounds is important to avoid corrosion and ensure the quality of the biogas.
  • 4. Petrochemical Production: In petrochemical production, Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina can be used to remove sulfur compounds from gas streams produced in various processes. Removing sulfur compounds is important to avoid corrosion and protect downstream equipment.

Overall, Sulphur Guard Grade Alumina is a versatile and effective adsorbent material that can be used in a wide range of industrial applications to remove sulfur compounds from gas streams.
