Medco E&P Lematang (MEPL) attempts to optimize operation performance and chemical expenses by sourcing alternative H2S Adsorbent. PIMIT-B1 is high local content E2S licensed under ITB & PIM adsorbent. It is a new iron oxide based solid adsorbent for H2S removal. PIMIT-B1 was initially produced for the purpose of removal of H2S from natural gas feedstock in Ammonia Plants. Later, PIMIT-B1 was proposed to be applied in oil and gas upstream industries. This paper presents the results of performance evaluation of PIMIT-B 1 in its use as H2S Scavenger adsorbent in Singa Central Processing Plant (CPP). PIMIT-B 1 was placed in a tower that allows residue gas containing H2S from membrane unit to flow downward from the top section of the tower to its bottom section. For evaluation its performance, the sample gas was taken to measure E2S concentration in three sampling points along the tower, as well as inlet residue gas was taken on daily basis. These data are then processed to show the trends in which the H2S from residue gas are being adsorbed. These trends will show the breakthrough point, shape of breakthrough curve, and sulfur loading at any given time that are used to evaluate the performance of PEVIT-B1.
