Natural gas cannot be introduced into the
U.S. pipeline system without meeting acceptable levels of nitrogen,
carbon dioxide, heavy hydrocarbons and moisture. At the same time,
compliance with these regulations has traditionally been costly -
economical only for producers and processors with high volume
demands.
BASF Catalysts fuel purification technologies address these
requirements in the following ways:
-
BASF Catalysts Microsorb® filtration products are high
purity attapulgite-based minerals providing excellent adsorptive
properties to purify / decolorize jet fuel and kerosene.
- Adsorbents for the purification of hydrocarbon streams.
BASF Catalysts Sorbead™ adsorbents are the industry
standard for removing contaminants, including moisture and heavy
hydrocarbons, from natural and industrial gases.
Our wide range of
high-purity
alumina technologies offer broad and versatile
applications in drying and decontaminating natural gas and other
fuels.

BASF Catalysts Molecular Gate® adsorption systems for
N
2 rejection or CO
2 removal have been shown
to reduce nitrogen levels of up to 30 percent to the 4 percent
generally required by U.S. pipelines -- at reduced cost and with
minimum operator attention.
