Field-ready CO2 separation for demanding natural gas
CO2 removal is straightforward in controlled conditions. In production gas, it’s a different story – variable composition, aromatics, heavy hydrocarbons, and occasional condensate can degrade conventional membranes and increase upstream complexity. Semicom AGRM is engineered for that environment, helping operators meet CO2 targets while minimizing methane slip and keeping packaging compact.

Consistent CO2 separation – without overbuilding pretreatment
Semicom AGRM uses a chemically resilient polymer platform designed for aggressive gas service. The goal is simple: reduce sensitivity to hydrocarbon-related performance loss and keep the front end of the plant simpler where possible.
Methane value protected by design
Semicom AGRM is engineered to keep methane where it belongs – on the high-pressure side – so operators can meet CO2 targets without turning valuable hydrocarbons into avoidable losses.

When space, weight, and installation time matter, Semicom AGRM supports compact, modular layouts that are easier to package and deploy than tall solvent towers. This makes it attractive for:
In developments tied to CO2 injection, the operating objective is not only methane monetization – it is also disciplined CO2 management. Semicom AGRM can produce a CO2-rich stream suitable for compression and return to the injection scheme, supporting reservoir strategy while capturing methane value from associated gas.
For many projects, the best economics come from combining strengths. Semicom AGRM can be installed as the front-end removal stage to take the bulk of the CO2 duty, allowing the downstream amine section to be designed around a smaller, more stable load. The result is a simpler overall plant balance and a more attractive operating profile.
Semicom AGRM modules are applied across a wide range of CO2 duties – from heavy-CO2 feeds where more than 70% of the bulk CO2 removal is performed in the membrane section, to configurations designed to reach pipeline CO2 limits below 3%. Final configuration depends on feed composition, pressure, temperature, and methane-loss constraints – and is engineered case-by-case to hit the commercial objective.

Designed to reduce sensitivity to heavy hydrocarbons (C6+) and aromatics that can permanently degrade conventional membrane performance.
High packing density supports fewer modules for a given duty, reducing vessel count and simplifying packaging.
A membrane block is inherently simple to operate, supporting fast transitions and low maintenance planning.
Capacity growth is achieved by adding modules rather than redesigning the process from scratch.
