Merichem Company Launches “Standard LO-CAT®” H2S Removal System

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Merichem Company announces today the launch of the new Standard LO-CAT^® system. This solution fits particularly well in the midstream and renewables markets but can be used to treat lower pressure gas streams containing up to 2 Long Ton Per Day (LTPD) of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and less then 15 pounds per square in gauge (psig), and up to 4 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) up to 7.5 volume percent of H2S. The new standard design specifically addresses the need for a lower cost, faster solution for Merichem’s clients and includes pre-configured options for varying gas flowrates and is easily duplicated where more sulfur removal capacity is required.
By reconfiguring our LO-CAT^® technology for midstream and renewables, the Standard LO-CAT^® addresses market expectations for faster unit delivery and lower capital cost to complement LO-CAT^®’s low operating expenses. The Standard LO-CAT^® provides a complete design including a full 3D model as well as all engineering and procurement information. Full procurement of equipment and materials can begin immediately after placement of a purchase order, dramatically shortening the time required to supply this system.
Standard LO-CAT^® is a reconfiguration of Merichem’s exclusive LO-CAT^® Sulfur Recovery Technology, a patented liquid redox system that uses a chelated iron solution to convert H2S into innocuous, elemental sulfur. Developed by ARI Technologies, Inc. in 1978 and acquired by Merichem in 2001, the LO-CAT^® process has undergone continuous improvements to give it the ability to handle a wide variety of H2S containing gas streams economically and reliably for numerous industries with low operating costs, no liquid waste streams, and significant turndown capability.

“Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increased demand to reduce operational costs, improve efficiency, and minimize maintenance. By reconfiguring our LO-CAT^® technology for midstream and renewables, the Standard LO-CAT^® addresses market expectations for faster unit completion and lower capital cost to complement LO-CAT’s low operating expenses,” said Jim Aiello, Managing Director of Sales & Technology Licensing, Merichem Company. “Standard LO-CAT^® is a lower operating cost solution to replace the high operating cost of scavengers, while providing faster unit completion.”
