H2S Scavenger And Scrubber System
H2S scavengers or Scrubber systems are most commonly used in hydrocarbon processing facilities to eliminate hydrogen sulfide’s harmful odors and protect plant workers. Ignoring the use of a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scrubber results in unsafe working environments for workers, decreased productivity and a toxic environment for those living close to production plants.
The most efficient way to refine toxic gases in the hydrocarbon industry is to implement H2S scavenger scrubbers from MACH Engineering. We help business owners fulfill product and process guidelines for a safer workplace.
What Is Hydrogen Sulfide?
Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas that’s a by-product of industrial operations and naturally occurs in crude oil. Hydrogen sulfide can also be generated through oil-refining processes.
The gas is extremely toxic, carries corrosive properties and often generates a foul odor. H2S can also directly interact with steel to create iron sulfide corrosion, which damages pipework. Hydrogen sulfide needs to be efficiently filtered out as it is a threat to mechanical surfaces and industrial systems. A hydrogen sulfide scrubber system is a great option for this.
What is an H2S Gas Scrubber?
Our hydrogen sulfide scrubber systems cater to the following industries:
- Chemical and food processing
- Petrochemical
- Pharmaceuticals
- Plating/metal finishing
- Odor control
- Water and wastewater
- Ethanol production plants
- Refineries
- Pulp and paper
Benefits of H2S Scrubber Systems
Hydrogen sulfide scavengers from MACH Engineering are a cost-effective alternative to traditional gas-sweetening systems. Facilities see the following benefits from our hydrogen scrubbers:
- Reduction in hydrogen sulfide content
- Less corrosion on equipment
- Easy removal of reaction products
- Fewer equipment replacements
- Increase in air quality
- Control over nuisance odors
MACH Engineering offers consultations and process simulation to determine what equipment and compounds are necessary to efficiently remove H2S. Our experts will recommend one of the following hydrogen sulfide scavengers depending on the application:
- Water-soluble scavengers: Additives for use in flare gas, residues and oils (for temperatures below 200 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Oil-soluble scavengers: Amine-based additives for high-temperature uses.
- Metal scavengers: For uses involving asphalt. Ideal for extremely high temperatures and environments with intense H2S concentrations.
