An attractive alternative for moderately sour gas wells with small production remote from a gas processing plant may be the use of batch-operated chemical hydrogen sulfide scavengers as an inexpensive gas sweetening process. The most common H sub( 2)S scavengers available to the gas producing industry are identified, as are their advantages and limitations, health and safety aspects, design guidelines, and economics. Two categories of available, nonregenerative scavengers for small-plant H sub(2)S removal are considered: formaldehyde-methanol-based and metallic oxide-based systems.
