How It Works
Ole Red utilizes a proprietary Fe(OOH) iron oxide-based granular adsorbent designed for nonhazardous Hâ‚‚S removal. Gas is processed through Ole Red media, where Hâ‚‚S is chemically converted into stable, environmentally safe byproducts.
Reaction: Fe(OOH) + H₂S → FeS + 2H₂O
Key Benefits and Features
High Efficiency
Exceptional Hâ‚‚S loading capacity and rapid reaction kinetics enable superior performance in a variety of vessel systems.
Low Operating Costs
Our American-based manufacturing and strategic control over key parts of our operation deliver exceptional cost efficiency and consistent performance.
Environmentally Safe
Ole Red is nonhazardous, streamlining disposal and regulatory compliance.
Operational Simplicity
No pumps, no moving parts, and no real-time monitoring required—offering maximum uptime and reliability.
Applications
Ole Red is effective in natural gas processing, biogas upgrading, sour flare gas conditioning, and other industrial H₂S treatment applications—especially where water-saturated and hydrocarbon-rich gas streams are present.
Comparison with Alternatives
No Waste
No Utilities
Non-Hazardous
Predictable
Environmental Impact
Ole Red’s spent media is safe for landfill disposal in most jurisdictions. The stable iron sulfide (FeS) formed post-reaction poses no environmental hazards. Special consideration may be required if the gas stream contains heavy metals, chlorides, or other regulated species.
How Ole Red Successfully Treats Sour Flare Gas
Industry: Oil & Gas
Location: Divide County, ND
Application: Sour Flare Gas Capture and Conditioning
Challenge:
Energy company needed to treat sour flare gas from multiple production sites, with high Hâ‚‚S concentrations and complex hydrocarbon composition. The goal was to achieve non-detectable Hâ‚‚S levels to enable NGL recovery and power generation.
- Elevated Hâ‚‚S levels requiring zero-tolerance performance
- Rich gas stream saturated with water and heavy hydrocarbons
- Underperforming prior scavenger systems that jeopardized project success
Solution:
Ole Red partnered with Bernie C. to re-engineer the treatment system. Over 90 days, the team:
- Diagnosed root causes of failure in the original setup
- Redesigned the system and optimized scavenger media chemistry
Validated performance through real-time monitoring and field testing
Results:
- Hâ‚‚S consistently removed to below detection limits
- Gas quality enabled stable NGL recovery and ICE engine fuel use
- Transformed a failing project into a technical and financial success
“OLE RED remained behind us for the duration and played a key role in turning a project that was destined to fail into a technical and financial success. The collaboration, innovation, and commitment were second to none.”

Our 36-Year Commitment to Performance
At Ole Red, we believe our product delivers the best value in the market—when it’s working as designed, it outperforms anything else out there. That’s not just a claim; it’s an expectation we set for ourselves and our customers.
If a system using Ole Red doesn’t meet those expectations, we don’t point fingers. We issue a credit to our customer—typically on the next order for the same application—based on the degree of shortfall relative to our performance expectation. Then we roll up our sleeves and work side-by-side with our customer to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
Sometimes that means recommending system modifications. When it does, we may offer additional product credits to help support those changes.
