Solid Bed H2S Scavengers

Solid Bed H2S Scavenger Unit is designed to remove hydrogen sulfide effectively and safely from natural gas
stream in oilfield facilities.  Solid Bed H2S Scavengers are ideal solution for gas processors to lower H2S amount
and export trough pipelines protecting personnel and downstream equipment from hazardous and highly
corrosive hydrogen sulfide.

Unlike liquid H2S scavengers (https://www.hcpetroleum.hk/product-detail/H2S-scavenger), solid scavengers

are applied in batch mode.   Sour gas (H2S-contaning gas) usually flows from well  site 2-phase or 3-phase
separator and enters Solid Bed Scavenger Units, which consists of inlet separator (vertical gas-liquid separator),
one or two process columns, which contains adsorbent beds, dry gas filters, instruments, sampling ports and
sampling kit, operator platform and other system components specified in either in HC’s technical proposal or
client’s requirements. As shown in given charts by HC Petroleum Equipment, all free liquids shall be removed
from feed sour gas, as iron sponges require dry gas for quality H2S-removal performance. Liquid droplets
present in the gas blocks porous structure of iron sponge slowing down its performance. For this reason, gas-
liquid inlet separator is required.

12/25/21, 11:00 AM Solid Bed H2S Scavengers

After gas-liquid separation, sour gas enters process columns from the top nozzle, and flows downwards. In
process column, when sour gas flows downwards, hydrogen sulfide reacts with iron sponge, forming iron
sulfide and water. As H2S trapped in the sponge bed, sweet gas (H2S-free gas) flows out from the sponge bed.
At downstream, dry gas filters may be used to filter small participles and dust of iron sponge. HC offers solid
bed scavengers both with dry gas filer and without, based on the client’s requirements. Water, which is
produced after H2S reacting with iron sponge is accumulated at the bottom of the process columns, and
drained. Gas sweetening system (https://www.hcpetroleum.hk/product-list/gas-sweetening) by iron sponge
process also consists of flowline valves, relief valves, process gauges, sampling ports and sampling system
(optional) and other auxiliary parts required by the project.

Level of control and automation depends on the client’s operational characteristics and budget. Equipment can
be designed with manually operated valves, instruments with indication functions, while fully automated
system is also available. In fully automated system, several transmitters, control valves, valves with actuators,
electrical and signal devices can be included, which can increase total cost price. Being flexible and experienced
company, HC Petroleum Equipment can offer both manual and automatic type of control for the gas
sweetening system. 

Two tower process

https://www.hcpetroleum.hk/product-detail/solid-bed-H2S-scavengers 4/8
12/25/21, 11:00 AM Solid Bed H2S Scavengers

Usually iron sponge gas desulfurization units are supplied with two towers, A and B. In practice, tower A is
active and removes H2S, while tower B is standby or under regeneration process. Another operational option
offered by HC Petroleum Equipment is applying two towers work simultaneously. Two towers are used
simultaneously in case of high ppm content of H2S or high flowrates. 

Single Tower Process

Iron sponge gas desulfurization units sometimes supplied with single column, based on the requirements of
the client. HC Petroleum Equipment offers both options with single tower and dual tower. 

Sponge Bed Regeneration

 
Iron sponge can be regenerated achieving around 50%. Regeneration is conducted by directing air upwards
from the column bottom to the top nozzle. Additional nozzle for regeneration can be added to the
configuration of the column or relief valves’ nozzle can be used with proper design. HC will provide PFD and
P&IDs showing the flowlines and configuration of the system.

In practice, most companies usually replace spent sponge bed with new iron sponge, safely disposing spent
beds. Replacement of spent iron sponge is simple but still very meticulous process, which requires to be
handled by professionals with experience and qualifications. HC Petroleum Equipment will provide necessary
documentation and manuals to handle spent sponge bend properly.

Size and configuration of the gas sweetening units by iron sponge process depends on several factors, such as
flowrate, operating pressure, amount of H2S, etc. Please send your requirements and oilfield conditions to HC
Petroleum Equipment to get the best suitable and cost-effective solution for oilfield gas sweetening. Another
option is sending a request to HC, we will provide our data sheets for you to fill.

HC Petroleum Equipment designs and fabricates Iron Sponge Gas Sweetening System in own workshop located
in Dongtai city, China. Our specialized production and assembly facility ensure fabrication, test, and inspection
of the vessel as per ASME, PED and GB standards. Flowline parts will be ANSI rated and tested as per codes and

Basic Parameters 

Important Notes:
 
·  Given parameters are for reference only. In case of flow rate greater than 300 000 Nm3/day, HC
Petroleum Equipment shall conduct study of the client’s requirements and provide suitable solution for
greater flow rates. Contact HC for technical assistance.
·  In case of H2S content in natural gas stream between 1000 ppm and 10 000 ppm, HC Petroleum
Equipment studies process data provided by the client and will provide suitable solutions to handle
larger amount of hydrogen sulfide.
·  When contacting us for customized design, it is necessary to provide the natural gas flow rate,
pressure, temperature and composition list of natural gas, including the content of hydrogen sulfide,
mercaptan, sulfide, carbon dioxide and other substances, water dew point, hydrocarbon dew point and
other process data.
· Current parameters are for reference only. Each Solid Bed Scavenger is designed and fabricated based
on requirements of the project. Contact HC for technical assistance.
