Clariant to supply sorbent for warm gas desulfurization technology

摘要

Clariant has signed a global licensing agreement with RTI International granting Clariant exclusive rights of supply for their solid sorbent material which is vital for RTI's warm gas desulfurization process (WDP) technology. WDP is an advanced market-ready technology for producing cleaner energy and chemicals from coal and other high-sulfur feedstocks. It enables sulfur-containing gas streams, such as synthesis gas from coal or petcoke gasification, to be cleaned at elevated temperatures (250-650 °C), thus reducing or eliminating the need for gas cooling. This increases overall process efficiency, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces the capital and operating costs of the entire gas cleanup block by up to 50% compared to conventional technologies.
