A consortium consisting of fuel cell heating system manufacturers and developers, filter and equipment manufacturer, chemical industry, research institutes and associated partners has developed a desulphurization solution for natural gas, which is now available as the first industry solution.
Within the project ZBT has coordinated the project and carried out an extensive market research for sulphur removal or sulphur detection.
Furthermore a standardized test set-up was built up for the desulphurization material qualification under a variety of operation conditions. In addition the test set-up was combined with a sensitive sulphur analytics (LOQ </= 50 Mol-ppb).
Based on the achieved test results and CFD simulations the unit was designed and constructed. Manufacturing was realized by filter and equipment manufacturer. The desulphurization unit was evaluated with regards to economics and tested under realistic operation conditions.
