CrystaTech to partner with GTI on sulfur projects

Austin-CrystaTech, a sulfur removal and technology company, reports that it has executed a five-year agreement with the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) for the development of several new clean energy technologies at GTI’s 18-acre R&D facility in Des Plaines, Ill. GTI and CrystaTech will cooperate in the development of technologies for sulfur capture and recovery, with CrystaTech having access to GTI’s facilities and the experience and capabilities of the GTI team. These eco-friendly technologies include CrystaSulf Downhole Sulfur Removal, a regenerable process for the continuous removal and recovery of sulfur depositions in sour gas well bores; CrystaSulf Blue Sky, a regenerable process for the elimination of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from natural gas plants; and Mobile Sulfur Recovery Unit, a mobile regenerable process for the safe testing of sour gas wells. CrystaTech said three demonstration projects are targeted in the Middle East, Canada and China. “The GTI technology development partnership will allow CrystaTech to significantly shorten the technology development life-cycle. Further, GTI’s deep understanding of our patented CrystaSulf process combined with their expertise in managing sulfur removal and recovery issues makes GTI a uniquely qualified R&D partner,” said Eric Klasson, CrystaTech president and CEO.
