    NaHS verses Elemental Sulfur production for H2S scrubbing

    Doug, Thanks for the information. If a company could make high purity NaHS without the ammonia, CO2 organics, do you think they could give TDC a run for their money? (i.e put them out of business?) Or do you think, there will always be a place for TDC to get cheap NaHS and sell if for a big...

    NaHS verses Elemental Sulfur production for H2S scrubbing

    Milton, The reason I initiated a second thread was because at other forums I have used, once people have answered the initial question, they do not continue to follow the thread. No one was responding to my other two questions so I initiated a new thread. I was not trying to be a pain. I...

    NaHS follow up question

    Is there a way of calculating how much NaHS is produced at a refinery based on throughput or some other factor?

    NaHS Production follow up question

    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)?

    NaHS verses Elemental Sulfur production for H2S scrubbing

    Does that mean they are happy to almost "give it away" the spent caustic (now known as NaHS)? I know that the NaHS is used in many industries (pulp & paper, mining, tanning etc) and demand in increasing. You are right thought, my production numbers for NaHS in NA are 120,000 tonnes (.2%...

    NaHS verses Elemental Sulfur production for H2S scrubbing

    Why do some oil refineries produce NaHS using caustic soda (NAOH) and others produce elemental sulfur when removing H2S from their stacks? I am also trying to understand if there is a relationship between NaOH and NaHS pricing wise. I hear that NaHS is usually sold to a 3rd party in return for...
