A treatment composition for remediating for remediating H.sub.2S and other contaminant(s) in contaminated gasses comprising: an aqueous hydroxide solution containing at least one hydroxide compound at a collective concentration of 35-55 weight percent of the aqueous hydroxide solution; at least one organic acid selected from the group consisting of fulvic acid and humic acid; and a chelating agent, wherein the aqueous hydroxide solution constitutes at least 80 wt % of the treatment composition, the at least one organic acid constitutes 0.1-3 wt % of the treatment composition, the chelating agent constitutes 0.1-6 wt % of the treatment composition, and a pH of the treatment composition is at least 12.0.

A system and method for recovering high-quality biomethane (RNG) from biogas sources are provided. The system and method improve upon conventional practices and yield a biomethane product which meets strict gas pipeline quality specifications. An online sample is captured of a gas stream in near real-time at a pressure swing adsorption vessel, and the online sample is analyzed to detect the presence of one or more targeted products such as CH.sub.4, CO.sub.2 or N.sub.2. The system and method are an improvement to the overall methane recovery efficiency for biogas processing facilities, specifically with regard to PSA control to prevent over or under saturation of the PSA media.

Disclosed herein are ladder polymers comprising fused aromatic and non-aromatic rings. Also disclosed are the manufacture and use of these ladder polymers, e.g., in separation membranes, such as membrane for gas separation.

Provided herein are metal organic frameworks comprising metal nodes and N-donor organic ligands which have high selectivity and stability in the present of gases and vapors including H.sub.2S, H.sub.2O, and CO.sub.2. Methods include capturing one or more of H.sub.2S, H.sub.2O, and CO.sub.2 from fluid compositions, such as natural gas.

A process for purifying a gaseous feed stream of natural gas including methane, CO.sub.2 and heavy hydrocarbons including step a): cooling the gaseous feed stream in a heat exchanger; step b): introducing the cooled stream into a phase-separating chamber to produce a liquid stream depleted in methane and enriched in heavy hydrocarbons and a gaseous stream; step c): separating the gaseous stream obtained from step b) in a first membrane producing at least one CO.sub.2-enriched permeate stream and a residual stream enriched in methane; step d): introducing the residual stream obtained from step c) into a phase-separator to produce a liquid stream and a gaseous stream; step e): heating the gaseous stream obtained from step d) by introducing it into the heat exchanger used in step a) counter-currentwise with the feed stream thereby producing a gaseous stream depleted in CO.sub.2 and enriched in methane.

Described and represented is a glycol drying system with at least one wet glycol collection container and/or at least one glycol collection line to collect moist glycol, with at least one heating device to heat the moist glycol in the at least one wet glycol collection container and/or in the at least one glycol collection line and with a membrane separation system to separate the water from the heated, moist glycol. In order to reduce the operating costs, without having to accept disproportionate investment costs, it is provided that at least one flash gas vent is provided to remove flash gas driven out when the moist glycol is heated before separating the water in the membrane separation system and in that at least one combustion chamber is provided to combust the flash gas and to provide heat for the heating device.

A zeolite membrane complex comprises: a support; and a zeolite membrane formed on the support. The membrane is of SAT-type zeolite, and in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by X-ray irradiation to the zeolite membrane, a peak intensity around 2θ=13.9° is 1.5 times or more a peak intensity around 2θ=8.5°.

A method for recovering sulfur within a gas processing system is described herein. The method includes contacting a natural gas stream including an acid gas with a solvent stream within a co-current contacting system to produce a sweetened natural gas stream and a rich solvent stream including an absorbed acid gas. The method also includes removing the absorbed acid gas from the rich solvent stream within a regenerator to produce a concentrated acid gas stream and a lean solvent stream. The method further includes recovering elemental sulfur from hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2S) within the concentrated acid gas stream via a sulfur recovery unit.

Disclosed herein are processes and systems for removing heavy C5+ hydrocarbon components from a natural gas feed gas by subjecting the natural gas feed gas stream to an adsorber. The adsorber in the processes and systems described herein operating at a pressure that may be associated with improved adsorption capacity and longer breakthrough time.
