H2S oxidation system for water treatment facilities

A new water treatment facility in the town of Jupiter, Florida, was causing a serious odor problem. H2S removed from the purified water was being released into the atmosphere. Complaints about the odor came from the residences and businesses downwind of the treatment plant. A turnkey LO-CAT® Hydrogen Sulfide Oxidation System designed to process 30,000 CFM of air containing 250 ppm of H2S solved this problem. Due to the scarcity of fresh water available for treatment ...

Improve fouling resistance in your wastewater benzene stripper

Benzene stripper columns, built so that refineries can meet the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), operate with several unique conditions – low vapor rates, high liquid loads, and a high tendency toward fouling make designing well-balanced, effective internals difficult. The Problem: Two Refinery Case Studies Sulzer was contacted by two separate refiners who noted a continued fouling problem and short run lengths on their wastewater strippers. ...

LO-CAT® process for waste water treatment plants

In 1980, Los Angeles began exploring alternatives to control the H2S concentration in the digester gas produced at the Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), which treats nearly 420 MGD, wastewater generating over 475 tons of raw sludge per day. The digester gas H2S concentration had to be controlled so that the SOX emissions from the on-site combustion of the gas could be kept within acceptable regulatory limits, allowing the gas to be burned on-site to generate steam for ...

Vapor pressure testing for petroleum, LPG, crude oil and Chemicals

Vapor pressure is an important physical property of volatile liquids especially of spark-ignition engine fuels. It provides an indication of how a fuel will perform under different operating conditions. For example, vapor pressure is a factor in determining, whether a fuel will cause vapor locks at high ambient temperature or at high altitude, or will provide easy starting at low ambient temperatures. Petroleum product specifications are regulated by various governmental agencies. ...
