Question
You are working in an oil refinery and to meet air quality standards you must remove trace sulfur compounds that come along with the crude oil. These H2S and SO2. A process has been suggested to convert these compounds into elemental sulfur and water using the following reaction:
2H2S(g) + SO2(g) → 3S(s) + 2H2O(g)
A drawing of the process is given below. You have two input streams F1 and F2 which are combined together and this new stream, F0 is connected to the recycle stream R. The two feed streams are fed at a stoichiometric ratio as shown above but contain a fair amount of CO2 as is shown. The solid sulfur is completely removed and the condenser completely removes the water. The gas stream leaving the condenser is split into a purge stream and recycle stream.
a. The flow in F1 is 100.00 lb-moles/sec.
b. The overall process conversion of H2S is 95% (actually removed).
c. The recycle to feed ratio is R/F0 = 15.0
What is the purpose of the purge stream?
Summary
The question belongs to Chemical Engineering and it is about an oil refinery where trace sulfur compounds such as H2S and SO2 have to be removed from crude oil. The question is about the purpose of purge stream in the process.

I was really very poor at drawing phase diagrams in my material science course. In fact that was the first time I looked for help from HwA. The result was fantastic. The material science experts knew what to deliver just after receiving the request and I didn’t have to worry since then.
I was finding it very hard to deal with the object oriented languages in the form of C++ and Java. I did well with C programming but in the latter semester I needed constant assistance from HwA and they had helped me tremendously.
Nuclear chemistry problems were turning into the bane of my life and i was just not able to get my head around the subject. But with the help of the nuclear chemistry assignment experts at HwA helped me understand the topics better than most of the other online assignment help services that i had used previously. It is affordable and the quality of assignment writing is definitely worth every cent I paid.
Structuring the arguments while analyzing the Civil Rights movement in America, for my term paper, was bit of a challenge for me. I was unsure of how to proceed or gather information. Researching and then jotting the entire thing down needed certain help and I got that them from HwA. Here the experts not only helped me pinpoint some topics to write but also did a marvellous job in researching and helping out with the entire assignment. It is needless to say that I received excellent grades from my term paper advisor in college.
The day when my professor asked us to start preparing a Research Proposal I approached HwA for help. I was already taking their help for my other assignments as well, but never thought that they had a strong research proposal writing and dissertation writing support. Really impressed with the kind of feedback I got in my Research Proposal.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
