H2S & Total Sulphur Analyzer

Critical corrosion prevention and process monitoring solution

H2S & Total Sulphur Analyzer

Critical Importance

Sulphur and Hydrogen Sulfide are extremely corrosive compounds that can severely damage equipment and compromise product quality. It is essential to monitor and control these values in natural gas, NGL, LPG and other petrochemical streams. Early detection prevents corrosion in process plants and protects valuable equipment investments.

H2S Measurement Method

Our H2S measurement is based on ASTM D4048 standard, using the Lead Acetate Reaction Rate method:

Hydrogen Sulfide Reaction:

H₂S + Pb(CH₃COO)₂ → PbS + 2CH₃COOH

The measurement process works as follows:

  • H2S reacts with lead acetate smeared on the surface of a tape
  • A red LED beam shines on the tape surface
  • The darkness of the tape indicates H2S concentration
  • Precise optical measurement determines exact H2S levels

Total Sulphur Measurement

To measure total sulphur (TS) content, we employ a conversion technique that transforms all sulphur compounds to H2S, which is then measured using the method described above:

Total Sulphur Conversion:

R-S + H₂ + heat → R-H + H₂S

This process:

  • Converts all sulphur compounds in the sample to H2S
  • Requires controlled heat and hydrogen atmosphere
  • Allows measurement of total sulphur content
  • Provides complete sulfur profile of the stream

Applications

H2S and Total Sulphur Analyzers are critical for:

  • Natural Gas Processing and Pipeline Quality Control
