March 14, 2003 at 12:11 PM EST
FAIRFAX, Va., Mar 14, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (EMRE) announced today that Tom Brown, Inc., a North American natural gas and crude oil producing and marketing company, has selected EMRE's FLEXSORB(1) technology to be applied in an Acid Gas Enrichment Unit at their Lisbon Gas Plant near Moab, Utah.

FLEXSORB SE and FLEXSORB SE Plus amine scrubbing technologies are proven, cost-effective ways to selectively remove H2S from process gas streams, even in the presence of CO2.

More efficient than conventional amine gas treating, this technology easily fits into natural gas processing, refining, and petrochemicals operations using conventional gas treating equipment.

In grassroots units, substantial investment and operating cost savings are realized. In retrofit situations, increased capacity is realized with equal or better H2S cleanup. With higher capacity per volume of solvent, FLEXSORB technology allows for debottlenecking with no increase in circulation rate.

EMRE is the research and engineering arm of ExxonMobil, a leading global oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals company whose subsidiaries have operations in nearly 200 countries and territories.

Tom Brown, Inc. (NYSE:TBI) is a Denver-based independent energy company engaged in the exploration for, and the acquisition, development, production and marketing of, natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil in North America.
