What Is Industrial Gas Activated Carbon?

AFCO is a specially designed class of active carbon that is used during the entire manufacturing, treatment and cleaning of the industrial gas to eliminate pollutants that threaten the efficiency of the process, destroy the downstream facilities, poison the catalytic converter, and impede the compliance of the treated gas with the purity criteria of the product.

The process of industrial gas – which comprises hydrogen, natural gas, synthetic gas (syngas), nitrogen, CO2, and LPG (LPG) – is seldom clean at the place of manufacture. They have different concentrations of sulphur (H₂S, COS, thiol), Hg, As, Chlorine, Chlorine, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), as well as other micro-contaminants, which need to be cut down to parts per trillion in order to ensure safe treatment, transportation and sale. Not only are these pollutants a matter of quality – they are irreversible deactivation of valuable metallic and base-metal catalysts for downstream reformation, hydrogenation, and synthetic reactions, resulting in disastrous process losses that greatly exceed those associated with upstream purification.

Active carbon solves this problem by combining physical absorption and — in the case of an impregnated grade — chemical absorption, providing pollutant removal performance that no other single material solution could match across the entire range of industrial gas cleaning needs. The ability to adapt to a variety of gas components, working pressures, and temperature conditions has enabled it to be the preferred material in the world’s most demanding sectors.

Key Advantages of Industrial Gas Activated Carbon

The selection of appropriate active carbon levels for industrial gas cleaning will have a direct impact on the lifetime of the catalyst, on the purity of the product, and on the economy of the whole process. HPC Active Carbon Provides Measurable Benefits at All Key Phases of Cleaning:
Because of these properties, active carbon has become an essential frontrunner in the world’s industrial gas value chain – from well head air conditioning to super high purity speciality gas.

Herausforderungen der Branche

Sulfur Compounds Irreversibly Poison Downstream Catalysts

Even tiny amounts of H₂S, COS, and thiols in the parts per million range are able to cause permanent deactivation of valuable metallic catalysts for reforming, hydrotreating, and ammonia-synthesizing reactors.

Mercury Poses Catastrophic Risk to Cryogenic Equipment

Mercury presence of Hg in the NG and the LNG inlet flows is combined with the aluminium heat-exchangers of the low temperature treatment facility, which leads to the expensive shutdown of the facility, the large-scale replacement of the equipment and the severe security events.

Carbon Bed Breakthrough Causes Costly Process Disruptions

In an ongoing process of producing natural gas in an industry, unforeseen levels of carbon saturation and contamination will cause unscheduled CCS shutdown, which will upset the downstream generation plans and cause substantial economic damage far exceeding the actual price of carbon.

Spezifische Anwendungsszenarien – Biogas-Aktivkohle

Entfernung von Schwefelwasserstoff (H₂S)

Hydrogen generated by vapor methane reforming (SMR), coal-gas gasification, or electrolysing comprises microamounts of sulphur compounds — especially H₂S and COS — which have to be eliminated to below 0.1 parts per million in order to make it usable for a fuel cell, a hydrocracker, or a semiconductor fabrication process. Active carbon, especially sulphur impregnated and potassium iodine-impregnated grades, offers a profound desulfurizing capability in a protective bed arrangement upstream of a valuable metallic catalyst to avoid irreversible sulfides and to preserve long term activity and selectivity of the downstream process catalysts.

Natural Gas Sweetening and Mercury Removal

The crude gas drawn from the reservoir is commonly found in the presence of H ₂ s, thiols, and Hg in excess of the standard of the pipe, which is a major hazard to the downstream treatment facility. Sulfur-impregnated Active Carbon is an industry standard for removing Hg from the supply flow of natural gas and LNG, with an exit Hg of less than 0.01μg/Nm3 to prevent the melting of low temperature aluminium heat-exchangers. Granular ACCC also offers efficient thiol and light-sulphur composite polishing before the MGC.

Synthesis Gas (Syngas) Conditioning

Syngas generated from coal, biomass, or gas gasifications for the purpose of synthetic ammonia, methanol, or Fischer-Tropsch fuel production includes sulphur, chloromethane, and microamounts of heavy metals which have to be eliminated prior to coming into contact with a synthetic catalyst. Active Carbon Guard Beds located upstream of the Synthetic Circuit are able to capture such Catalyst Toxins at Trace Concentration Levels, Prolonging Catalyst Lifetime, Decreasing Catalyst Substitution Rate, and Preserving Economic Viability of Large Scale.

CO₂ Purification for Food-Grade and Industrial Applications

The CO₂ for the production of foodstuffs and drinks, the treatment of drugs, and the enhancement of oil production has to comply with strict purity standards for VOCs, sulphur compounds, acetaldehyde, benzenes, and other micro-organic pollutants. Active carbon polishing beds – located at the end of CO ₂ liquefaction and cleaning trains – absorb such microcontaminants to a level lower than the detection threshold, allowing CO ₂ manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with food grade criteria, including ISBT and NSFC rules.

Nitrogen and Inert Gas Purification

High pure nitrogen is needed to remove remaining oxygen, water, hydrocarbons, and VOC residues in semiconductor manufacturing, electronic production, drug packaging, and chemical coating, which could endanger the integrity of the product or its technical properties. Active Carbon Polishing Phases, which are incorporated in the Nitrogen Generating and Purifying Systems (PSA) and Low Temperature Air Separation Devices (HPS), Low Temperature Isolation Devices (HPS) and Low Temperature Air Separation Devices (HPS), which will guarantee that the nitrogen is pure enough to comply with the parts per billion required for electronic and pharmaceutical end-users.

LPG and Hydrocarbon Gas Purification

LPG (LPG), propane, butane, and other light-hydrocarbon gas flows, which are used as fuel, petroleum-based raw materials, or aerosol propellants, shall not contain sulphur compounds, thiols, and fragrances which may lead to the smell of the product, the corrosion of the downstream facilities, and the pollution of the catalytic agent in the petrochemical plant. Active Carbon Treating Systems – Working in Vapor Phase and Liquid Phase – offer efficient Sulphur and Thiols Removal from LPG Flow to Meet Product Specifications and Safeguard Quality and Merchantability of Refined Hydrocarbon Products.

Our Industrial Gas Activated Carbon Advantages

Deep Contaminant Removal to Parts-Per-Billion Levels

Industrial grade active carbon provides the removal of sulphur compounds, mercury, and VOC to the ultra low concentration limits required for fuel cells, low temperatures, and catalyst sensitivity - protection of the downstream process assets and guaranteeing a uniform level of purity.

Catalyst Protection That Preserves Process Economics

Active Carbon Shield Bed can greatly prolong the useful life of valuable metallic catalysts by blocking the sulphur, chlorine, and heavy metal toxins in the upstream side of the reforming, hydrogenation, and ammonia-synthesizing reactor.

Mechanically Robust Performance Under High-Pressure Conditions

High quality column and granular active carbon grades designed for commercial gas use keep structure integrity, uniform bed density, and steady low-pressure-drop performance at high operational pressures typically associated with an industrial gas treatment facility - guaranteeing a secure, continuous cleaning over the entire carbon service cycle.
