Application Detail

Oil & Gas

Activated carbon for vapor recovery, H2S removal, condensate polishing, and low-silica boiler-feed protection.

Application overview

Oil and gas applications include refinery vapor recovery, hydrogen sulfide removal, and high-purity condensate boiler-feed water treatment.

Activated carbon adsorbs gasoline vapors, benzene, solvents, and hydrogen sulfide during refining.

Condensate polishing helps protect ion-exchange resins and sensitive equipment.

A major performance claim is extremely low silica leaching and nil ash for refinery water service.

Refinery recovery and gas cleanup

Activated carbon supports recovery of economically valuable vapors and removal of hydrogen sulfide during oil refining.

Condensate and boiler-feed water

Black Opal emphasizes treated activated carbons that remove contaminants, de-oil condensate, and protect downstream ion-exchange resins, boiler tubes, and turbine blades from fouling and deterioration.

Operating advantages

Refinery buyers typically prioritize these performance qualities.

Lowest level of silica leaching

Low ash content and nil dust

No pre-washing of filter beds required

High hardness and attrition resistance
