Questions on Oil Refinery Process where Sulfur Compounds Need to be Separated from the 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
1. What is the purpose of the purge stream?
2. What is the individual and total flow rates of F0?
3. What are the flow rates of R, S and W?
4. What percentage of gas leaving the condenser is purged?
5. What is the single pass conversion of the reactor?
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 questions deal with the need for purge stream, the individual flow rates, the percentage of gas leaving the condenser and single pass conversion of the reactor.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I really needed assistance with my clinical epidemiology assignment while I came across HwA and was thrilled to find that they have expert dealing with that area of nursing. It was really cherishing and the nursing experts here are well experienced and well equipped with the nitty-gritty of a patient care.

I must say that the random variable assignment experts here in HwA can surely make the numbers talk. I was given a sheet of data to analyze and honestly I had no clue whatsoever on how to approach. When I came to them they explained me the concept of discrete random variables (as the data was of an outcome of random test on some microorganism) and helped me analyze the same. My teacher at college was very impressed and since then I take help from HwA.

Honestly speaking, I never thought that anybody could have provided me with so accurate solutions to a subject which is so niche by nature. Any assignment expert from USA or UK cannot actually know the details of the Singapore Taxation Law assignments. However, luckily HwA has a dedicated set of assignment experts from Singapore itself, who helped me get good grades all through.
Yi Hao Student
The quality of the research work and the structuring of the assignment essay was almost exactly as what our professor had asked for. The assignment expert at HwA was extremely professional with maintaining the deadline and sticking to the guidelines stipulated. Overall my experience with them has been way above satisfactory and I would recommend them to all students wanting help in writing their instrumentation engineering assignment.

1. My main concern was the relevant research and reference work that is required in my Masters course in the university. They are very particular about referenced and researched assignments and with the stats experts at TheReliableTutor.com I have never have had to worry about that since the experts provide the most excellent and relevant references in all my assignments which help me get top marks in the class.

This solution is perfect ...thanks
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
