Methanation
2CO(g) + 2H2(g) ------------ CH4(g) + CO2(g)
Consists mainly of methane and other gases.
Natural Gas from drilling operations contain several
contaminants and other undesirable constituents like
H2S and moisture.
H2S contributes acidity and foul odor of natural gas
and its corrosivity is enhanced by the presence of
moisture.
Moisture is usually removed by compression and
cooling while H2S is removed by absorption using
different absorbents.
An alternative purification of natural gas by removal of
H2S involves the recovery of elemental sulfur from
H2S using the Claus Process.
