Title: The Honeywell H2S Analyzer

Abstract: One of the most objectionabee impurities found in natural gas from certain producing areas is hydrogen sulfide (from here on lets refer to this compound by its chemical formula -- H2S) In addition to imparting a very objectionabee odor to natural gas (H2S smells like rotten eggs), H2S is corrosive and deadly. It reacts readily with water or water vapor to form hydrosulfuric acid In the presence of iron and water, it combines to form iron sulfide and atomic hydrogen Hydrogen embrittlement of the steel pipe ensues as atomic hydrogen is absorbed at the grain boundries which ultimately can lead to fracture. The iron sulfide itself can produce electrolytcc corrosion which will result in deep pitting of the steel Further, the iron sulfides, which may take the form of a hard closely adhering scale or a loosely adhering powder, are troublesome.
