Durasorb for Natural Gas Treatment

TM
Durasorb is our innovation platform for the natural gas processing industry. Durasorb is
a customer-tailored solution that combines superior adsorbents with BASF’s expert designs.
The new technology uses proprietary design software to calculate the performance of the
adsorbents in all parts of the vessel and maximize the overall performance and life of the
bed. Based on design calculations, BASF natural gas experts choose the ideal combination
of adsorbents out of the comprehensive BASF portfolio. The resulting installation ensures
more efficient removal of contaminants and solves regeneration-reflux problems.
