The HySWEET^™ technology relies on a hybrid solvent formulation using a mixture of amines and a physical compound to simultaneously remove acid gases and mercaptans. Additionally, this “all in one” solvent also simplifies the gas treatment chain, requires less energy and thus reduces the carbon intensity of the plant.

This technology has first been demonstrated and implemented in existing units of the Lacq plant since 2007. The latest formulation has been in operation in the SOBEGI industrial complex for 6 years.

Today Axens is the exclusive Licensor of this new technology and has granted several licenses in the Middle East and North America.  Recently the first Axens’ commercial units have been successfully started-up. 

This webinar presents the benefits of the HySWEET^™ technology application on sour gas fields, relying on start-up and operational results.

The global energy transition is no longer a distant vision—it’s a present-day imperative. Yet, the path forward is anything but straightforward. As geopolitical instability, economic volatility, and infrastructure limitations challenge the pace of change, the oil and gas industry must find a way to decarbonize without compromising reliability or profitability. The transition to a low-carbon future is not a binary shift—it’s a complex, multi-decade journey that demands both realism and innovation. While renewables are scaling rapidly, fossil fuels remain essential to global energy security, industrial production, and economic stability. This webinar explores how the industry can embrace a pragmatic approach—one that leverages existing assets, integrates emerging technologies, and builds a bridge to a more sustainable future. Join us for a dynamic discussion with two industry leaders who will share actionable strategies and forward-looking insights on how to lead through this transformation with confidence.

Electrification of heating is a proven solution in other industries, enabling substantial emission reduction and improved operational flexibility. Electrification of process heating in the oil and gas industry has been slower in adoption, due to challenges such as high temperature requirements, complex heat control and cost sensitivity.

Join Lummus Technology for a webcast that will explore electric process heating options, its features and benefits, and real-world use. The discussion will highlight Lummus’ SRT-e^TM electric cracking heater and how it can address these challenges by combining indirect electrical (radiative) heating from other industrial applications with existing SRT technology. The session will also discuss the growing adoption of dynamic electricity pricing, where fluctuations reflect real-time energy availability and grid demand.

This webcast will cover:

• Advances in partial electrification, including converting a hydrocarbon-fired refinery heater into a hybrid heater using both fuel and electricity
• Adding flexibility for heaters to switch from fuel-fired to electricity, to take advantage of dynamic electricity pricing
• An update on Lummus’ SRT-e electric ethylene cracking heater, including the commissioning of a commercial demonstration unit
