Innovations in membranes for natural gas processing frequently consider ideal separation performance as the defining success metric for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from methane (CH4). However, realistic natural gas feeds are complex mixtures…
With depletion and natural decline of the sour gas fields in Germany, many conventional gas sweetening plants have been abandoned for economic reasons. A study and a concept selection were conducted to identify technical and economical competitive…
BXY field is the largest gas field of India, located in offshore, 80 km from Mumbai city. The field produces about 32.5 MMscmd sour gas using two process complexes BXA & BXB. The field was put on production in September'1988 with initial gas…
Normally, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a problem encountered in sour gas fields rather than in sweet crude oil fields. But the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria can cause H2S in a sweet crude processing system. This article discusses the H2S gas…
Approximately 40% of current global natural gas resources have high H2S and CO2 concentrations. The H2S concentration in Middle East gas reservoirs can potentially reach up to 30 mol%. H2S is toxic
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, corrosive, inflammable, and toxic hydride gas with a rotten egg-like odor. It was first described as a natural compound by alchemists in the middle ages. It is slightly denser than air, extremely toxic, and…
Sour gas components (mostly H2S and CO2) are to be removed from natural gas in a sweetening process. Analysis of sweetening of natural gas has been carried out by formulating steady state and transient rate-based models which have been developed…
