据世界石油新闻2020年11月2日伦敦报道，凭借德国化工巨头巴斯夫吸附技术专家丰富的专业知识和经验，壳牌公司日前获得了巴斯夫Durasorb™Cryo-HRU技术的认证，可将这种技术应用于壳牌公司旗下天然气处理厂的贫气流。在液化天然气生产装置的预处理部分使用巴斯夫的Durasorb™Cryo-HRU技术，为在一个装置中去除微量的HHCs、BTEX(苯、甲苯、乙苯、二甲苯)和水提供了一个有效的解决方案。众所周知，HHCs和BTEX杂质会造成冷却箱的冻结，从而导致工厂停工，尤其具有挑战性，这是因为需要从贫原料气流中进行深度去除。Durasorb™Cryo-HRU技术有效地去除这些杂质，同时也将水去除到低温规格。在液化天然气预处理部分采用Durasorb ™Cryo-HRU技术确保了可靠的运行，并为工厂提供了操作灵活性。
Durasorb™Cryo-HRU技术也是一种用于脱水装置的改进型解决方案，该技术有望改变原料气的成分。巴斯夫将利用专有建模软件对Durasorb™Cryo-HRU技术进行建模和设计，并为壳牌公司提供持续支持，以实现新厂的高效运行和设计。
巴斯夫说，“壳牌公司对我们技术的认可是我们吸附剂业务的一个重要里程碑。巴斯夫迅速地以创新的解决方案满足客户的需求。我们将继续与壳牌公司合作，全力支持他们将Durasorb™Cryo-HRU技术应用到他们的项目中。

Shell qualifies BASF technology for removal of heavy hydrocarbons and water from natural gas
Leveraging the extensive know-how and experience of BASF adsorption experts, Shell has qualified BASF Durasorb™ Cryo-HRU technology for deployment in Shell gas processing plants with lean feed gas streams. Use of Durasorb Cryo-HRU technology, in the pre-treatment section of an LNG production plant offers an effective solution for the removal of trace HHCs, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene), and water to cryogenic specifications in a single unit. HHCs and BTEX impurities are known to cause freezing in the coldbox resulting in plant downtime and are especially challenging due to the need to remove deeply even from lean feed gas streams. Durasorb Cryo-HRU effectively removes these impurities while also removing water to cryogenic specifications. Implementing Durasorb Cryo-HRU in the LNG pre-treatment section ensures reliable operation and provides operational flexibility to the plant.
Durasorb Cryo-HRU technology is also a retrofit solution for dehydration units that are expecting a change in feed gas composition. BASF will utilize proprietary modelling software to model and design the Durasorb Cryo-HRU and provide Shell with “The qualification of our technology by Shell is a major milestone for our Adsorbents business. BASF quickly addressed the customer need with an innovative solution. We will continue to work with Shell and support their efforts to incorporate Durasorb technology in their projects,” says Detlef Ruff, Senior Vice President Process Catalysts at BASF.
