Quantity of Sulpher in gas
(OP)
One of our pipe line transport gas 292 TJ/day. Compersition
of the gas from the main plant shows that 0.497 mg/m^3 of sulpher in it. Can any one tell me how to calculate the quantity of sulpher collected per day under the given conditions ?

RE: Quantity of Sulpher in gas
Quantity of S collected = Q (m^3/day) x 0.497mg/m^3 in mg/day.
If you do not have your volumetric flow rate, try to get the pressure, temperature and molecular weight of your gas.
density of your gas = (Pressure x Molecular weight)/ (Gas constant x temperature x gas compressibility factor)
Then your volumetric flow rate = mass flow rate / density

This isn't the dumbest set of units your industry uses. At least it is only one step from "stupid" to "sensible" some of the others are several steps.
Compressors compress what is there. If I compress one MSCF of methane then I've compressed 43.43 lbm and 1.01 MMBTU and 1.066E6 Joules. They are all the same number of molecules. Calling them TJ instead of BCF (as long as you've specified the heating value of the gas) is just convention.

The system was set up because the regulators had the wool pulled over their eyes. The transmission companies made huge amounts of money for the first 5 years. Then as the rate baseing kicked in, they are not making any more money, but the guy shipping high BTU gas pays more than the guy shipping low BTU gas, it should be the other way around.
