Both domestic and international natural gas contain trace amounts of mercury, predominantly in its elemental form. Mercury can corrode equipment, pipelines, and instrumentation, poison precious-metal catalysts, and pose health risks to operating personnel; therefore, it must be efficiently removed. DKT has specifically developed two types of mercury-removal agents—non-regenerative (metal sulfide-based) and regenerative—along with corresponding mercury-removal processes. The non-regenerative agent has been successfully deployed in PetroChina’s Tarim Oilfield, Xinjiang Oilfield, and Jilin Oilfield, while the regenerative agent has also achieved successful application in the Tarim Oilfield.
Technical Features and Advantages
µ The mercury removal process is simple and achieves a high degree of mercury removal.
µ Compared with commercially available sulfur-loaded activated carbon mercury-removal agents, the metal sulfide mercury-removal agent does not suffer from sulfur dissolution.
µ Mercury-removal agents based on metal sulfides use specialty alumina as the support, with highly uniform and well-dispersed metal-sulfide active components. These agents exhibit high mercury-adsorption capacity, rapid mercury-adsorption kinetics, and superior compatibility with gas streams containing free liquid phases.
µ Metal sulfide mercury scavengers can effectively prevent the occurrence of heavy hydrocarbon capillary condensation.
µ Metal sulfide mercury removal agents can be used for mercury removal from both dry and wet natural gas.
µ Renewable mercury-removal agents exhibit rapid mercury adsorption rates, high dynamic mercury capacity, and excellent regeneration performance.
Application Fields
T Deep mercury removal from natural gas, associated gas from oilfields, shale gas, and other sources
T Deep Removal of Mercury from Other Mercury-Containing Gases

High-Efficiency Helium Purification and Crude Helium Recovery Technology
For many years, Dakote has been dedicated to the development and application of helium extraction technologies, providing turnkey systems for helium recovery projects that have operated efficiently, safely, and reliably to this day. Specifically targeting helium-bearing feed streams such as natural gas and boil-off gas (BOG), the company has independently developed a patented ambient-temperature separation process for producing high-purity helium. Compared with conventional cryogenic helium separation technology, this approach offers greater operational convenience and significantly reduced energy consumption.
Hydrogen Production Technology
Hydrogen, as the cleanest green fuel, was officially classified as an energy source by the National Energy Administration on April 10, 2020, heralding an explosive surge in demand for hydrogen energy.
In response to the compositional characteristics of syngas generated during the clean, fractionated utilization of modern coal chemical processes and the associated application requirements, a comprehensive integrated technology for syngas separation and purification has been successfully developed. This technology encompasses pre-treatment via temperature swing adsorption (TSA) for impurity removal, sulfur-tolerant wide-temperature shift conversion, organic sulfur hydrolysis, water scrubbing for ammonia removal, MDEA-based desulfurization and decarbonization, fine desulfurization and dechlorination, catalytic deoxygenation, acid-gas desulfurization and sulfur recovery, PSA-based hydrogen enrichment, PSA-based methane concentration, PSA-based CO concentration, and membrane separation. The technology has been successfully implemented in several large-scale coal chemical projects across China and has received unanimous praise from users.
