scf/bbl to mol/mol
(OP)
Hello,
can someone help me convert scf/bbl to mol/mol ( its the loading of H2S in DEA)
Thank you

RE: scf/bbl to mol/mol
At standard temperature and pressure you can assume your gas is ideal and use the ideal gas law, i.e. PV=nRT. Taking standard conditions as 60F (519.67 Rankine) and 14.7 psia and R=10.7316 you will see that the volume of one lb mol of gas at STP is 379.4 ft3/lb mol. So if you divide your scf of H2S by 379.4 you have the number of lb mols of H2S.
Now, looking at the DEA (assuming you mean diethanolomine) with a molecular weight of 105.14 and a density of 67.4 lb/ft3. A barrel is 5.615 ft3. This makes 1 bbl of DEA
1 x 5.615 x 67.4 /105.14 = 3.60 lb mol
From the first step you have the number of mols per bbl, so divide that answer by 3.6 and you have your answer in mol/mol. Or you could combine the two factors and just divide the value in scf/bbl by 1366 (=379.4 x 3.60) to get the answer directly.

I'm pretty sure that the original poster (intel2) is talking about scf of H2S per barrel of aqueous amine solution ... since most (if not all) amine gas treating units use a solution of amine in water.
So one must know the concentration of pure DEA in his specific aqueous solution before working out the conversion.

At low pressure and therfore low partial pressures, the loading is reduced, hence DEA should not be used with pressures under 200 psi unless there is no concern about top tray equilibriums that allow more than 10 ppm of H2S in the exit gas.
