Paper Title: Selection of Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers for Minimal Refinery Impact
Abstract: The oil industry continues to face increasing environmental and regulatory challenges related to the storage and processing of hydrocarbons containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S). At the same time, the quality of crude oil is declining; the feedstocks available contain higher levels of H2S as well as increased concentrations of sulfur compounds that are converted into H2S during refining. A common approach to mitigating the risks posed by H2S is the use of H2S abatement additives; however, some refineries have concerns regarding these additives and their by-products. Equipment fouling, and more importantly, significant corrosion risks, can affect refinery operations. Therefore, it is crucial for modern refineries to have a thorough understanding of the different types of H2S scavengers available, their advantages and disadvantages, and their potential impact on processing equipment. This paper provides an overview of the additives that can be used to effectively reduce H2S levels in hydrocarbons, and it offers tools that can be utilized to conduct risk/benefit analyses regarding the use of these additives. Data from refinery operations is used to assess the risks associated with side effects such as corrosion and fouling in various equipment components. This information helps in identifying suitable additives, determining appropriate operating conditions, and optimizing treatment processes.
There are indeed quite a lot. Everyone, please post the translation results in several batches; that will help me earn more points. Thank you all!
Title: Small refineries (Impact? ) The selection of hydrogen sulfide scavengers – how should “Impact” be translated here? I would appreciate some advice from those who are more knowledgeable.
The title could be translated as: Rational Selection of Hydrogen Sulfide Removal Additives in Refineries. The article should have been written by a Chinese person, and the original Chinese version should be available. Translation from English to Chinese shouldn’t be too difficult.
\"Impact\" actually means influence, that is, to have the least possible impact on refineries; if it must be translated, it would be: choosing hydrogen sulfide removal additives appropriately to reduce their impact on refineries
Selection of Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers for Minimal Refinery Impact – The impact of hydrogen sulfide removal options on small refineries is for reference only!
The oil industry continues to face environmental and regulatory challenges arising from the storage and processing of hydrocarbons with high hydrogen sulfide content. At the same time, the quality of crude oil continues to deteriorate ; The available feedstock has a high H2S content, and sulfides with continuously increasing concentrations are also converted into H2S during processing in refineries. The conventional method to reduce the risks caused by H2S is to use H2S corrosion inhibitors ; However, some refineries are more focused on hydrogen sulfide removal additives and their by-products. Equipment scaling, as well as the more common problem of severe corrosion, affects the normal operation of refineries. It is important for today’s refineries to take a comprehensive look at different types of optional hydrogen sulfide removal additives, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as their potential impact on processing equipment. This paper presents a survey report on additives that can effectively mitigate the hazards of H2S in oils, and proposes formulas for analyzing the effectiveness (disadvantages/benefits) of using these additives. The data provided by the refinery is used to assess the scaling and corrosion risks at the top of the unit, to select appropriate additives, to determine suitable operating conditions, and to optimize treatment methods. I can’t guarantee it to be 100% correct. I'm so tired. I won’t dare to make big claims anymore.
