How much natural gas for burning ACID GAS in a thermal oxidizer
How much natural gas for burning ACID GAS in a thermal oxidizer
(OP)
Hi!
I´m trying to calculate how much gas is required to burn 100% and destroy H2S from an acid gas. I do not know what considerations are required...I mean, if I need to achieve some temperature to destroy H2S or only having a combination of acid gas + helping gas and achieves a LHV of more than 1000 btu/ft3 ...something like this.
Thank you very much

RE: How much natural gas for burning ACID GAS in a thermal oxidizer
Required inputs are the LHV of the acid gas stream, the LHV of the natural gas stream, and Cp values for N2, O2, CO2, and H20 vapor at ambient temp and 900degC. Write out the chemical reaction for combustion of H2S to SO2 to start with. Ask a chemical engineer or chemist to help if not familiar or not sure. Someone on E-Tips may help to check your completed calcs if required.
