SOUR NATURAL GAS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sour Natural Gas is a type of natural gas that contains a high concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), making it more challenging to process and handle compared to sweet natural gas. Sour natural gas is typically found in certain regions and requires additional treatment to remove the hydrogen sulfide and other impurities. It is used in various industrial and chemical applications primarily as a source of energy and as a raw material for the production of chemicals and petrochemicals. Proper handling and storage of sour natural gas are essential to prevent corrosion, environmental contamination, and health hazards associated with its hydrogen sulfide content. Proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential when working with sour natural gas. Its value as a source of hydrocarbons makes sour natural gas a critical resource in the energy and chemical industries, although its processing requires careful control to prevent environmental and health impacts.
