2020 REFINING PROCESSES HANDBOOK PROCESS CATEGORIES COMPANY INDEX TREATING, LIQUID Mericat™ II Application: Removes hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sweetens mercaptan compounds in jet fuel, kerosene and heavy gasoline/naphtha streams. Description: MERICAT II technology employs the FIBER FILM® Contactor as the mass-transfer device, and utilizes a caustic/catalyst/air mixture as the treating reagent. Advantages: The non-dispersive FIBER FILM Contactor achieves reduced CAPEX and requires less plant space compared to most treating alternatives. These benefits make MERICAT II the technology-of-choice. In addition, the FIBER FILM Contactor is a built-in pre-wash that protects and extends the life of the carbon bed and, in many cases, negates the need for a separate upstream pre-wash stage altogether. Installations: MERICAT II technology was first licensed in 1986, and Merichem has granted 50 unit operating licenses worldwide.
