NATCO Group THIOPAQ Gas Conditioning System and Shell-Paques Technology

NATCO Group, Inc. requested that the GHG Center perform an independent technology verification of the THIOPAQ Gas Conditioning System.  This technology, developed in the Netherlands by Paques BioSystems, is designed to safely and efficiently remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from biogas and other sour gases while minimizing the generation of harmful emissions or effluents. The process is suitable to applications where the processed biogas can be utilized as fuel.

It was also requested that the GHG Center perform an independent performance verification of the Shell-Paques technology - a gas purification system. This technology, like the THIOPAQ, is also designed to safely and efficiently remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from biogas and other sour gases while minimizing the generation of harmful emissions or effluents.  The Shell-Paques technology  includes system components that can process low-, medium-, and high-pressure natural gas. The process is suitable to applications where the practices of venting, incineration, or re-injection of the collected H2S are not desirable options. The system also allows the production of elemental sulfur for subsequent sale or use.
