Axens North America Inc. (Houston; www.axens.net) has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with Scutter Enterprises, L.L.C. (Chesterfield, Missouri) to purchase assets and technology related to sulfur removal products. Scutter was created in 2009 and specialized in solid sulfur scavengers for gaseous and liquid streams. The terms of the APA will remain confidential.
Axens will reinforce its extensive adsorbent portfolio by the acquisition of these products previously manufactured and commercialized by Scutter Enterprises, L.L.C. under the name of HydroCat. They will become part of Axens’AxTrap adsorbent product line.
These new adsorbents offer economically competitive purification solutions to process streams containing moderate amounts of sulfur in applications such as landfill gas, biogas, associated gas or CO2 treatment.
With these new AxTrap products, the removal of sulfur compounds from methane and CO2 streams enables the utilization of these greenhouse gases with minimal environmental impact and thus confirms Axens’ commitment towards sustainable development.
Axens will retain all Scutter personnel to ensure continuity of service to existing and future customers.
