Exploring Gas Processing & LNG Technologies

Natural gas streams often carry sulfur and mercury. Left in, they damage equipment, put compliance at risk and harm the environment. In this episode, Nennette Richard-Jordan, Head of Sales- Refinery Catalysts of Clariant explains how the company’s high-performance catalysts and sorbents for fixed-bed reactors address that problem. She introduces Clariant and its gas processing setup, then covers the applications and customers it serves. She also walks through the ActiSorb™ GP series, which removes sulfur and mercury from natural gas-derived streams to meet industry standards. Listeners will learn what sets Clariant’s products apart and how its support, from research and application development to on-site service, helps operators get longer cycle times and the highest reliability.

Chay Kin Wah, Regional Chief Executive for ASEAN, Pacific and China and President of Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte. Ltd., discusses the future of natural gas and LNG in Southeast Asia, digital transformation, cybersecurity and decarbonization efforts shaping the industry.

Recorded live at YNOW2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana, this episode features Sam Hassan, Product Manager at Yokogawa. Hassan discusses the EJX S Series, Yokogawa's new flagship pressure transmitter line succeeding the long-running EJX A and what 30-plus yrs of silicon resonant sensor development brought to the new design. The conversation covers what improved precision means for pipeline and plant operators, how rangeability of up to 400:1 changes transmitter specification and deployment, where early adoption is expected across oil and gas, LNG, chemicals, power and water markets, and the practical case for migrating from EJX A units now vs. waiting for a planned refresh.

In this episode, Gas Processing & LNG sits down with Ebuka Nwakile, Industry Technical Consultant and Global Marketing Manager Midstream, Nalco Water (an Ecolab company), regarding the challenges and solutions in midstream operations, focusing on asset reliability, flow assurance and digital innovations. Mr. Nwakile shares insights on managing contaminants, optimizing systems and leveraging technology for proactive maintenance.

For downstream operators, environmental performance can no longer be separate from operational performance. A missed emissions issue, delayed test result, unreliable monitoring system or fragmented compliance workflow can affect uptime, permit confidence, worker safety, community trust and the ability to move through critical operating windows without disruption. In this discussion, Jenna Granstra, Director of Project Development, Onterris, explores how leading downstream organizations are building environmental programs that directly support operational assurance, reliability and efficiency.
