Two of Axens’ technologies selected for sour-gas processing plant in Canada

| By Mary Bailey

Axens (Rueil-Malmaison, France) has been selected to supply the technologies for the Acid Gas Removal unit (HySWEET) and the Sulfur Recovery unit (SmartSulf) of the Albright Sour Gas Processing Plant to be constructed by CSV Midstream Solutions Corp. in Alberta, Canada:

For the Acid Gas Removal Unit, Axens licensed the HySWEET technology in order to process 152 million std. ft3/d of natural gas. HySWEET is a hybrid process for simultaneous removal of mercaptans and acid gases from natural gas, developed by TotalEnergies and commercialized by Axens.

  • For the Sulphur Recovery Unit, Axens licensed the SmartSulf technology to handle the acid gas from the HySWEET in order to remove 370 ton/d of Sulfur and achieve a Sulfur Recovery of 99.5+%. 

Axens’ scope of work includes the supply of the process design packages, the supply of the specific equipment for the SmartSulf unit as well as full services from plant personnel training to unit start-up.

Both units are now under process design phase and commissioning is expected for the end of 2024.
