Abstract
The invention relates to a device and to a method for continuously measuring the hydrogen sulfide concentration of an off-gas by means of a detachable device suitable for being temporarily connected to equipment producing the off-gas. The method comprises a step of measuring the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by the off-gas. The device and method method can be used in particular to measure the hydrogen sulfide concentration in an off-gas produced during a step of sulfiding a hydroprocessing catalyst.
Claims15
A kit for measuring a hydrogen sulfide concentration of a gas likely to contain hydrogen sulfide, wherein the kit comprises separate modules that can be connected to one another, the modules comprising:
- a measurement module A comprising a measurement chamber M wherein an absorption of a monochromatic electromagnetic radiation by the gas likely to contain hydrogen sulfide is measured and an absorption measurement related to the hydrogen sulfide concentration is produced, and wherein the measurement module A has a range of working pressure values;
- an expansion module B that brings the pressure of the gas likely to contain hydrogen sulfide to the range of working pressure values of the measurement module A;
- a pressure-regulating module C that maintains the pressure of the gas likely to contain hydrogen sulfide in the measurement chamber M at a pressure lying within the range of working pressure values of the measurement module A;
- a processing module D that processes the absorption measurement, whereby the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the gas likely to contain hydrogen sulfide is determined.
A method for the continuous measurement of a hydrogen sulfide concentration of an off-gas wherein the method comprises using a detachable device capable of being connected temporarily to a plant producing said off-gas, wherein the detachable device measures an absorption of a monochromatic electromagnetic radiation by the off-gas.
