Abstract
A process and system for substantially eliminating contaminants from a gas and a gas produced therefrom.
Claims24
A process for substantially eliminating contaminants from a gas comprising:
- providing the gas having hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon in a reactor;
- passing the gas through a heated area having a temperature of about 50° C.-700° C., the heated area produced by a heating element comprising at least one of a catalyst and a resistance wire;
- converting the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and hydrogen;
- separating the sulfur from the gas.

A process for substantially eliminating contaminants from a gas comprising:
- providing the gas having hydrogen sulfide, hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide in a reactor;
- passing the gas through a heated area having a temperature of about 50° C.-700° C., the heated area produced by a heating element comprising at least one of a catalyst and a resistance wire;
- converting the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and hydrogen;
- reacting the hydrogen with the carbon dioxide to form water and at least one of carbon and carsuls;
- and
- oxidizing the hydrogen with the oxygen of the carbon dioxide;
- and
- separating the sulfur, water and at least one of carbon and carsuls from the gas.
5 more elements
A process for providing hydrogen as a fuel comprising:
- storing a gas, having hydrogen sulfide, as a liquefied gas in a container;
- providing a reactor that connects to the container, the reactor having a heating element comprising at least one of a catalyst and a resistance wire;
- releasing the gas from the container to the reactor;
- passing the gas through a heated area, having a temperature of about 50° C.-700° C., produced by the heating element;
- converting the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and hydrogen;
- and
- separating the sulfur from the gas.
4 more elements
A gas substantially free of contaminants, the contaminants removed by a process comprising:
- providing a gas having hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon in a reactor;
- passing the gas through a heated area having a temperature of about 50° C.-700° C., the heated area produced by a heating element comprising at least one of a catalyst and a resistance wire;
- converting the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and hydrogen;
- and
- separating the sulfur from the gas.
2 more elements
A system for substantially eliminating contaminants from a gas comprising:
- a reactor for receiving the gas, having hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon;
- and
- a heating element, having at least one of a catalyst and a resistance wire, within the reactor that contacts the gas to produce products substantially free of the hydrogen sulfide.
