NaHS Production follow up question

NaHS Production follow up question

NaHS Production follow up question

(OP)
Are there any instances where a refinery would decide to make more NaHS one day verses the other or is just based on how much caustic they need to scrub certain liquid streams (based on chemistry/composition of the oil to be refined)?  

RE: NaHS Production follow up question


metgal47:

Refineries do not "decide" to make more or less spent caustic (containing NaHs) from one day to another day. It is waste product and they produce whatever amount is needed to remove H2S from their naphtha, kerosene, jet fuel, or LPG streams being caustic scrubbed.

Again, as I said in response another of your questions on this same general subject, I strongly suggest that you read the book "Aqueous Wastes from Petroleum and Petrochemical Plants", by M.R. Beychok, published by John Wiley in 1967.  It is available in most good university libraries.
