A Houston, TX investigation demonstrated complete H₂S removal from natural gas using JC 9465 ROS, a new mineral oxychloride compound that generates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The next-generation wet scrubbing approach harnesses hydroxyl radicals to eliminate H₂S in flue gases at a fraction of the cost of competing technologies.
The study
The investigation treated natural gas containing 2,000 mg/l H₂S and 5% CO₂. JC 9465 ROS completely eliminated the H₂S while producing an inert sulfate residue.
Technical findings
The product raised the oxidation-reduction potential from -150 mV to +100 mV, fully removing H₂S. Treatment maintains effectiveness within a +100 mV to +300 mV control range.
Oxidation potential comparison
The hydroxyl radical (OH–) rates at 2.8 eV, second only to fluorine at 3.0 eV among listed oxidizers. This high oxidation potential enables rapid H₂S oxidation.
Cost analysis
JC 9465 ROS delivered dramatic economics: a $10,000 capital cost with $4,700 annual O&M, yielding $0.0040 per pound of H₂S removed, versus competing technologies ranging from $0.24 to $148.41 per pound.
JC 9465 ROS removed H₂S at $0.0040 per pound, versus $0.24 to $148.41 for competing technologies.
A safer green technology
JC 9465 is non-flammable and non-combustible, making it a green technology well suited to petroleum, biogas, and industrial applications.
