BASF to grant sublicenses of ExxonMobil gas treatment technology
BASF and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Co. (EMRE) have concluded an agreement that provides BASF with the right to sublicense EMRE’s FLEXSORB 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 the 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 process is characterized by low corrosion and lower foaming compared to conventional gas treating solvents, and the company said its 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.
