Craigjw Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Does sour gas come from lemons? What's it for, I've seen several concepts for sour gas boilers but I'm still not seeing the not so obvious end goal in producing the stuff.

Craigjw Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 8 minutes ago, SkunkMaster said: sulfur and methane So, I boil it and I get natural gas for power and sulfur, which I have to condense the sulfur so that I can load it into the refinery for making steel?

SkunkMaster Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 sulfur is not used at the moment. but you can turn it liquid and use the process for cooling.

Soulwind Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Sour gas is contaminated natural gas. When it is cooled enough it separates into usable ng and sulfur Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/96293-what-is-sour-gas-used-for/#findComment-1092101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 If you boil petroleum to sour gas then condense it (at ~-165 C), you get 67% natural gas (liquid) and 33% sulfur. This process creates a large power boost over using the petroleum in a generator. And the natural gas generators produce more water than the petroleum generators. I believe there is as of yet no use for sulfur.

I believe there is as of yet no use for sulfur. My bad, I confused sulfur with lime for some silly reason. So, when you've boiled the gas, you then have to condense it, which will usually use atleast 1 aquatuner, running at 1.2kw plus maybe a couple of pumps and a filter, which all adds up to about 1.5kw give or take. I hope this boiling process is able to sustain at least 4-5 natural gas boilers running constantly, as there really would be no power gain from just pumping petrol into a petrol generator for a straight ~1.8kw (less some v's for the carbon skimmer) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/96293-what-is-sour-gas-used-for/#findComment-1092108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The addition of sour gas made it less efficient and more complex, but it's still quite a lot better ( maybe 20x? ), even with all of the cost of liquefying it.
