Expert Solution

H2S occurs naturally in crude oil (sour crudes) and can be generated from refining processes, including hydro-cracking, hydrolysis and elemental sulfur production.

In petrochemical industries, managing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a challenge at every stage of hydrocarbon production, refining, and transportation. Hydrogen sulfide harms product value, compromises environmental and safety compliance, damages infrastructure integrity from corrosion attack, produces odors, and more

Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic, colorless gas that’s invisible, explosive, flammable, heavier than air -- making it collect in low-lying areas or travel along the ground, and a leading cause of death in oil and gas fields and petrochemical fields

Hydrogen sulfide is formed when organic material decays. At low concentrations it gives off an odor like rotten eggs. At high concentrations it will deaden your sense of smell, so smell is not always a good indicator. It is corrosive and can cause issues with equipment. It is flammable, so smoking and welding is prohibited in areas where there might be concentrations.
