Introduction Sodium Hydrosulfide (NaSH) solution is an alternative product to sulfur from hydrogen sulfide. Much hydrogen sulfide ends up on solid bed medias such as iron sponge or Sulfatreat®. This is disposed of in landfills. These processes are justified in most cases. Depending on your production rate of hydrogen sulfide, a Claus Unit may be just what you need. … [Read more...]
Hydrogen Sulfide Removal from Refinery Gas Streams
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, flammable and extremely dangerous gas. It is found in many refinery streams such as crude oil, asphalt, residual fuel, mid distillate, gasoline and blend components. As well as natural gas, propane and LPG. It is heavier than air and can travel along the ground. Protection Against H2S Exposure In … [Read more...]
