Presence of H2S in oil sump for reciprocating compressors
Presence of H2S in oil sump for reciprocating compressors
(OP)
dear all,
good day
we have three gas reciprocating compressors non lubricated cylinder. They have a lot of triple (damaging in piston rings, riders, stuffing box, valves and also vibrations)the back up N2 is not enough which it cause the H2S to escape to oil sump. after analysing the oil I found the presence of H2S in oil. THE TYPE OF OIL IS ACER 150 WHICH IS A MINARAL OIL .
my question is that lead to crack sulfide stress or is there any more problems could cause by this issue ??
