Abstract

Measurements of hydrogen sulfide in liquid petroleum residual fuel oil and in the vapor space of residual fuel oil storage tanks and sample containers were taken to determine if a useful correlation existed between the liquid and vapor phase hydrogen sulfide concentrations. As a rough approximation, a vapor phase to liquid phase correlation of about 50:1 was found. The correlation showed considerable variance which increased with increasing hydrogen sulfide concentrations. The correlation reveals that liquid phase analysis of hydrogen sulfide in residual fuels can be used to identify fuel oil products which require occupational health controls.
