Technology for Removing C₂ and Higher Hydrocarbons from Natural Gas
Release Date:
2021-12-21
Source:
In addition to its high methane content (typically ≥90%), natural gas also contains higher hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane, as well as impurities like carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Our company employs a patented pressure swing adsorption technology to remove the C₂+ hydrocarbon components from natural gas, reducing non-methane impurities to below 100 ppm. The purified natural gas can then be directly used as a feedstock for chemical synthesis.
Technical Features and Advantages
µ Advanced and mature technology, simple process flow, and stable and reliable operation.
µ High methane content and high recovery rate in purified natural gas
µ Low operating energy consumption and high degree of automation
Application Fields
T Removal of C₂ and higher hydrocarbons from natural gas

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.
