【Q&A Question 032】May 22, 2016: What is the principle of operation of steam stripping? The answer key will be available after responding; scoring is based on addressing the key points. Reduce the vapor pressure of oil and gas to extract hydrogen sulfide vapor.
Reduce the partial pressure of oil and gas to facilitate the separation of H2S
Reduce the partial pressure of oil and gas to facilitate the separation of H2S
Reduce the partial pressure of other components in the liquid phase, making them easier to distill out
At a certain temperature, when the oil to be distilled passes through steam, if the sum of the vapor pressures of the oil and steam exceeds the total pressure in the equipment, the oil will boil. The greater the amount of water vapor introduced, the higher the vapor pressure of water vapor, and accordingly the lower the vapor pressure of the oil required; this results in a lower temperature needed for the oil to boil.
