Impact of Liquid Volume Fraction on Accurate Measurement of Hydrogen Sulfide in Natural Gas Systems

Author: Paul Stockwell – Process Vision Abstract: Accurate measurement of hydrogen sulfide (Hâ‚‚S) in natural gas is critical for safety, compliance, and operational performance. Now that liquid detection systems such as LineVu are detecting the presence of liquid carryover in natural gas streams at considerably higher levels than expected, this paper examines the partitioning behavior of Hâ‚‚S between gas and liquid phases in the presence of condensate using Henry’s Law. A quantitative model is developed to show how increasing liquid volume fraction […]
