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.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Fiona O Farrell: I often lost track of the number of variables and how many equations I needed to evaluate in order to find the values. Then I came across HwA where the experts helped me out with two or three problems and helped me get a feel of how it needs to be done. That extra assistance with my simultaneous equation problems really helped me in the long run and I did well in my final exams.

I was really stuck with a case study concerning intestinal obstruction patient care when I came across HwA. Didn’t know that any other website provides such specific nursing assignment solution help. Was really grateful and will certainly recommend other fellow nursing students to come and take help from this site.

The love for statistics has developed since my childhood. As a child, numbers always fascinated me and that is why right out of high school I opted to study undergraduate statistics. Initially I couldn’t keep up with the topics and was very desperate for expert help. TheReliableTutor.com with its online tutoring and assignment help services has helped me to reach my goals.

My wee practical knowledge was really an obstacle to my assessment in cardiovascular collapse assignment. Then I came across HwA’s cardiovascular system assignment help. The experts here are just marvellous and they have first-hand experience in dealing with patients. That helped a lot, indeed.!

I wanted to do a dissertation on consumer behavior but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics.

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
