GTC licenses sulfur recovery technology from R&D firm TDA Research

GTC Technology, a licensor of process technologies mass transfer solutions, announced a global technology licensing agreement with TDA Research for sulfur recovery from hydrogen sulfide through catalytic direct oxidation.

TDA Research is a privately-held R&D company in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, which develops new materials (polymers, carbons and ceramics), catalytic and sorbent-based chemical processes and military and aerospace components.

The agreement expands GTC’s platform of acid gas removal technology, which currently includes GT-CO2, a process technology for CO2 removal; GT-SSR, a Claus process for sulfur recovery with over 60 licenses; and Crystasulf, a liquid-phase Claus process technology for sulfur recovery.

GTC expects the catalytic direct oxygen technology to apply to a range of 0.2 to 300 tpd

“Direct oxidation catalyst technology provides a significant advance in sulfur recovery,” said Dr. Matt Thundyil, sulfur business leader for GTC.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
