Acid Gas:
What is Acid Gas:
Acid gas is a type of natural gas or any other gas mixture that contains significant quantities of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen halides, or similar acidic gases. Acid gases form acidic solutions when dissolved in water. Before a raw natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide can be used, the gas must be treated to reduce impurities to acceptable levels. This is commonly done with amine gas t...

Hydrocarbons:
What are Hydrocarbons:
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Most hydrocarbons found on earth naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons are a primary energy source for current civilizations. Extracted hydrocarbons in liquid form are called petroleum, and extracted hydrocarbons in gas form are called natural gas. There are three types of hydrocar...

What is Alkalinity:
The alkalinity of water is a measurement of its buffering capacity, or its ability to resist changes in pH. Alkalinity of natural waters is typically a combination of bicarbonate, carbonate, and hydroxide ions. Sewage and wastewater usually exhibit higher alkalinities due to the presence of silicates and phosphates. Alkalinity inhibits corrosion in boiler and cooling waters. It is also used to control water and wastewater treatment processes or ...

What is Water Hardness:
Water Hardness is a measure of mineral content in water. Hard water is formed when water flows through deposits of limestone and chalk which are made up largely of calcium and magnesium. Hardness is determined by the concentration of multivalent cations, which are positively charged metal complexes with a charge greater than +1. Common cations in hard water are Calcium (Ca+2) and Magnesium (Mg+2). There are two types of hardness, temporary an...

What is Alcohol:
An alcohol is any organic molecule in which the hydroxyl functional group (OH) is bound to a carbon. An important class of alcohols, of which methanol and ethanol are the simplest members, includes all compounds with the general formula C n H 2n+1 OH. Simple alcohols are found widely in nature. Ethanol is most prominent because it is the product of fermentation, a major energy-producing pathway. Some are only formed in tr...
