PurGasPurGas™™ produces pipeline quality gas by produces pipeline quality gas by removing contaminents in a four step process:removing contaminents in a four step process:

Step 1 compresses gas and removes HStep 1 compresses gas and removes H22SS

Step 2 removes water and impuritiesStep 2 removes water and impurities

Step 3 removes carbon dioxideStep 3 removes carbon dioxide
