Gas treatment

Gas treatment
OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES

A growing gas demand:

• increase in gas consumption = + 1.6%/year by 2040,
• contribution of natural gas to the energy mix = 25% in 2040 (contribution roughly equivalent to those of coal and oil)
  (Source AIE - World Energy Outlook 2018).
   

Strict specifications:

• CO₂ concentration less than 2%,
• H₂S concentration less than 4 ppm.
  
   

40% of the world’s natural gas reserves are sour gases: in order to be produced and used, these reserves have to meet strict specifications governing sour compounds (CO₂ and H₂S) and must therefore undergo the appropriate sweetening treatments.

IFPEN offers industry a complete range of technologies to sweeten natural gas (equipment, processes, solvents)
 and effectively and economically reduce CO₂ emissions at source.
