SilcoTek® coatings are a key part of liquid natural gas processing.  Our coatings benefit LNG processing:

  • Allow companies like Shell to assure and verify ultra low level sulfur/H2S content in natural gas.
  • Test and verify ultra low levels of mercury
  • Manage and test moisture levels with hydrophobic coatings

SilcoNert® 2000 and Dursan® coatings repel moisture, allowing for ultra fast dry down of system flow paths.  SilcoNert 2000 & Dursan coated instrumentation enable fast recovery and low level detection of moisture; making high quality, fast sampling possible.

 

SilcoTek Coatings Assure Precise Low Level Sulfur/H2S Testing

H2S adsorbes to stainless steel surfaces, making precise analysis of ultra low level sulfurs impossible.  SilcoNert 2000 prevents sulfur adsorption in LNG sample transfer and test systems, even to low part-per-billion levels.
