Bold Science for Energy

ION’s most immediate market applications are in natural gas production, where sour* gas must be sweetened to make it safe for use and reduce costly corrosion. RTIL-amine solutions offer dramatically increased cost advantages compared to the conventional aqueous amine solutions currently used in over 95% of U.S. natural gas sweetening operations.

Global demand now means cost-effective technology for processing sour gas is a top priority. Read more: The Sweet in the Sour – Middle Eastern Gas Reserves

Removing Contaminants from Raw Natural Gas

  • ION solvent and process solutions are capable of significantly reducing capital and processing costs, increasing gas output, minimizing corrosion and shrinking unit footprints.
  • Solvents are tailored to optimize performance and can be used with existing equipment or reduce capital costs in new designs via smaller equipment sizing
  • ION’s solutions are also much more efficient at economically extracting natural gas from increasingly sour wells – effectively “redrawing the map” of viable natural gas reserves.
