BASF to grant sublicenses of ExxonMobil gas treatment technology
- Highly selective and
effective FLEXSORB technology
- BASF is further extending its portfolio in
selective gas treatment
- OASE technology
- EMRE benefits from BASF’s global market reach
March 18, 2015
+ + + BASF
and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (EMRE) have concluded an
agreement on EMRE’s FLEXSORBTM technology. The agreement provides BASF
with the right to sublicense the technology and supply the related solvent
to third parties.
The FLEXSORB technology is well known in the
industry for its selective removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in presence
of carbon dioxide (CO2). The selectivity advantage allows achieving high
H2S removal at low solvent circulation rates resulting in lower energy
consumption compared to conventional processes. The reliable and
simple-to-operate process is characterized by low corrosion and lower
foaming compared to conventional gas treating solvents. The FLEXSORB
technology has a commercially proven track record since 1983 with over 120
reference plants.
“With the license from EMRE we are further
strengthening our OASE® gas treatment portfolio especially in the
selective gas treatment area,” said Dr. Andreas Northemann, head of the
global gas treatment business in BASF’s Intermediates division.
“The high selectivity
and effectiveness of our FLEXSORB gas treatment process makes it
attractive and competitive in new markets. The agreement with BASF will
extend the reach of this technology around the globe,” said Vince
Alberico, EMRE’s head of Technology Sales and Licensing Department.
With more than 40
years of experience, BASF offers its customers efficient solutions for the
treatment of various gases such as natural gas, synthesis gas, and biogas.
Worldwide, these solutions have been proven and demonstrated in over 350
reference plants. BASF markets its range of technologies, gas treatment
agents, and complete technical services under the brand OASE® – Gas
Treating Excellence by BASF.
