Process of Removing Trace Sulfur Compounds From Crude Oil
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 had missed out on the classes on Leadership and Development at school due to ill health and hardly had the time to go back and understand the topic on my own. That is when I decided to take the assistance of online tutoring at HwA to understand the topic in order to write the projects and assignments that were due. The online HRM tutor assigned to me was extremely patient with all my queries and answered every single one of them. The session really helped to get a grip on the topic and write my assignment essay with excellent examples and reference work.

Being a computer science engineer is my dream and it wouldn’t have possible for me to understand the basics of C++ programming without the help of TheReliableTutor and the engineering assignment tutors. I grasped C programming on my own, but for C++ and Java, I am definitely grateful to TheReliableTutor.

Great assistance!!! Thank you guys for all your support. I love the way you dealt with my every instruction and I’m very much satisfied with the work. As I had difficulties managing time for studies and job, you really saved both.

I chose civil engineering for my graduate studies because I am fascinated with the concepts of municipal and urban engineering. Since it has been my area of interest from high school and I had done some research on the topic I thought the graduate program would be a breeze. But I was soon proved wrong and found myself struggling from the very first semester. At TheReliableTutor my online civil engineering assignment tutor helped walk me through the different concepts and with in-depth quality research that was missing from my work.

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
