Applications

GB-222 non-regenerative adsorbent is used as a guard bed to remove sulfur species from gas streams. It is especially effective for removing H2S and other reactive sulfur species from low molecular weight hydrocarbon streams. Typically, GB-222 adsorbent is used where adsorbent beds are in a lead/lag position, which effectively utilizes this adsorbent’s high-capacity contaminant pickup.

Safe loading and unloading of the adsorbent from your equipment is imperative to ensure you realize the full potential of GB-222 adsorbent. For proper safety and handling, please contact your UOP representative.
