Turnkey H2S removal systems that enable a safer approach to outlet gas compliance

UltraFab™ self-contained hydrogen sulfide removal systems are compact, modular, and custom engineered to achieve reliably low concentrations of H2S at the outlet, aligned with your operational requirements. Supported by onsite commissioning and worldwide technical experts with decades of experience, our turnkey systems integrate automation and process control to help you manage sour gas more safely and reliably.

  • Wellheads
  • Production facilities
  • Amine plants and acid gas sweetening units
  • Compression and dehydration facilities
  • Onshore and offshore installations

Cost-efficient system with a small footprint and lower HSE risk

Enhanced safety

  • Minimal to no chemical contact for personnel
  • Closed-loop system that keeps H2S and spent scavenger chemicals contained

Reduced chemical usage, lower costs

  • Automated monitoring and control system that minimizes chemical use while maintaining asset integrity
  • Prevention of chemical overtreatment and the potential of consequent solids precipitation downstream
  • Capable of delivering >80% efficiency

Reliable on-spec production

  • Efficient H2S removal to achieve your specified outlet concentration
  • One pass, non-recirculating process that continuously monitors outlet H2S concentration

Simple and cost-effective

  • Simple installation that ensures the system is quickly operational
  • Minimal supervision and maintenance requirements
  • Small system footprint

The primary system components are a proprietary contact vessel followed by a separation vessel that yields sweet gas and spent chemical. Other components include injection pumps, level controls, and fuel gas and H2S analyzers, all ensuring a comprehensive H2S removal solution. Technical support services, such as system optimization for specific operating conditions, are also available.
