[SilcoTek](http://www.shell.com/global/aboutshell/major-projects-2/prelude-flng/revolution-natural-gas-production.html)[® to be a part of Shell Prelude FLNG](http://www.shell.com/global/aboutshell/major-projects-2/prelude-flng/revolution-natural-gas-production.html) the worlds first floating liquid natural gas facility.

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](https://www.silcotek.com/sulfur-and-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](http://www.envirotech-online.com/article_read/808/‎) sample transfer and test systems, even to low part-per-billion levels.
