Oil & Gas Application We Serve

Natural Gas Dehydration & Purification

Acid gases and moisture in natural gases can lead to a corrosive environment, hydration formation and operational failures. W.A.C.’s molecular sieves and activated alumina balls ensure deep moisture control & prevent the risk of contamination.

Challenge We Solve:
  • Reduced pipeline and compressor efficiency
  • Carbon dioxide & hydrogen sulfide
  • Water vapour causing hydrate formation
Recommended Products:
  • 4A or 3A molecular sieves for deep dehydration
  • Activated alumina balls for moisture removal

Nitrogen Generation & Gas Separation (PSA Systems)

Carbon molecular sieves play an important role in on-site nitrogen generation for blanketing and purging applications across oil and gas facilities.

Challenges We Solve:
  • Need for high-purity nitrogen
  • Oxygen contamination in sensitive processes
Recommended Products:
  • Carbon molecular sieves (CMS) for PSA-based nitrogen generators

Petrochemical & Refinery Stream Purification

Western Adsorbents & Catalysts' range of activated carbon is widely used in polishing refinery streams and removing sulphur compounds, trace organics and colourants.

Challenges Our Products Solve
  • Colour & odour contamination
  • Presence of sulphur & hydrogen sulfide compounds
Products Recommended:
  • Coconut shell-based granular activated carbon
  • Tailored activated carbon in terms of specific properties for refinery polishing

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) & Hydrocarbon Gas Purification

LNG processing requires an extremely dry and impurity-free gas to ensure safety and efficiency. W.A.C. molecular sieves and carbon molecular sieves ensure reliable purification.

Challenges Our Products Solve
  • Moisture and carbon dioxide freezing risks
  • Trace hydrocarbon contamination
  • High-pressure operational stability
Products Recommended:
  • CMS for selective gas separation
  • 13X molecular sieves for carbon dioxide & moisture removal

Sulphur & Odour Control

Western Adsorbents & Catalysts' range of activated carbon plays a key role in controlling sulphur emissions and odour in oil & gas operations, ensuring environmental regulation compliance and worker safety.

Products Recommended:
  • Granular activated carbon for sulphur adsorption
  • Impregnated activated carbon (NaOH & KOH)
