Genosorb™ 1753
Genosorb™ 1753, a specialty polyethylene glycol dialkylether, delivers exceptional performance in gas treatment applications through its unique properties. Its high absorption capacity and excellent thermal stability ensure efficient removal of acid gases, while its low vapor pressure minimizes solvent losses during operation. The product's low viscosity, even at reduced temperatures, enable smooth processing and optimal flow behavior. These features, combined low foaming behavior and compatibility with standard materials of construction, make Genosorb 1753 a reliable choice for gas sweetening and purification processes. The solvent’s outstanding chemical stability helps maintain consistent performance over time, contributing to more efficient and cost-effective gas treatment operations.

- Absorption of H2S, mercaptans, CO2, CS2 and COS (carbon oxysulfide) in acid in acid gas removal processes.
- A very important industrial application for Genosorb™ 1753 is the removal of acid gases from natural gas and synthesis gas e.g. in the Selexol™ process. In many industrial applications this process has proven successful for the sweetening of natural gas, desulphurization and CO2 removal from synthesis gas (e.g. IGCC processes, H2 production for NH3-plants, Synthetic Natural Gas production) or bulk CO2 removal. Several commercial gas processing units with gas streams are using Genosorb™ 1753 as scrubbing liquid. The physical absorption based on special glycol diethers is more economical than chemical absorptions based on organic amines, especially if deep sulfur removal is required and if the gas has a high initial pressure.
- A very similar process is used to remove CO2 and / or H2S from biogas. Natural gas meeting pipeline specifications is obtained. In the same manner landfill gas can be upgraded with Genosorb™ 1753.
