Outline
1. ECH – Area of Business
2. H2S Analyzer by ECH- Basics
2
- Basics
- Applications for petrochemical products,
e.g. liquids, viscous samples, solids and gases
- Applications for water, typical measurements and
methods for waste water treatment
3. Summary
1. ECH – Area of Business� Development, manufacturing and marketing of analyti cal
instruments and measurement methods
� Main fields of application are:(A) laboratory analysis(B) factory - and process monitoring for technical control

Applications for the determination of H 2S:
� water and waste water
� solids, oil and gas
� in the laboratory, on-site or online

Problems caused by H2S
1. Odour trouble- sensitization of population
2. Health risk- toxicity is comparable to hydrogen cyanide (HCN)hydrogen cyanide (HCN)
3. Sulphuric acid corrosion - concrete reducing up to 10 mm per year- high investment costs to repair
4. Blocking of biological activity of microorganism s- increasing of bulking sludge inside aeration tanks of waste water treatment plants

Different Types of H 2S-containing Samples in Refineries
Sample Example Method
#1 liquid gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, crude oil, mineral oil, hydraulic oil, engine oil, transformer oil
indirect by oven and gas extraction
chamber
10
oil, engine oil, transformer oil chamber
#2 highly viscous and solid
tar, oil sludgebitumen, sulphur
indirect by oven and headspace-technique
#3 gaseous LPG, LNG, CNG gas injection module
#4 water extraction and washing solutions,waste water
indirect by gas extraction chamber
and acidification
Principle of H 2S-Analyzer
Advantages:
� no sample preparation
� fast gas extraction procedure of H 2S from
11
procedure of H 2S from sample
� low cross sensitivity
� H2S is purged completely from sample and transferred to the sensor
H2S-Analyzer Cubiform
12
Features:
� short measuring time 5 – 10 min
� free adjustable sample volume 0.01 – 20 mL
� wide measuring range and low detection limit of 0.0 1 ppm
� automatic peak evaluation at the end of the measure ment
H2S – Analyzer with Autosampler
Advantages:� fully automated analytical
procedure
� sample volume 0.01 – 20 mL
13
0.01 – 20 mL
� low demand of chemicals
� robust and fast analysis(up to 40 measurementsper hour)
Headspace -Module for the Determination of H 2S
14
Without sample
preparation
Headspace vial is inserted into the oven and the
measurement is started
Principle of the Headspace -Module
15
Temperature: up to 250°C
Application: Determination of H 2S in Oil
16Determination of H 2S in a mineral oil sample
Application : Determination of H 2S in heavy Oil

Result listshows the high repeatability
of the measurement
Calibration function
Features:� automatic sampling
� direct analysis of sulphide/H 2S-content of waste water and light oils
Online H 2S- Analyzer
� low demand of chemicals (H3PO4)
� data transfer via 4-20 mA or modem/internet
� alarm settings
19
Online application directly in the waste water
Typical Applications� surface water
� ground water
� mineral water
� leachate
� seweage water
20
� seweage water
� pressure pipes
� pump sumps
� grease separators
� refineries, chemical industries
� mineral oil, crude oil
Special Features� detector is separated from the
sample by the gas extraction chamber
� high sensitivity (>0,01 ppm )
21
� high accuracy of the sample injection (1%)
� sample inlet can be rinsed backwards to prevent biofouling and sedimentation
Self Cleaning Sampling
Problem:
Biofouling on surface of electrodes or measuring systems
22
Answer:
� back flushing of sample tubes with fresh water (4 b ar)
� immediate cleaning after injection of waste water s ample
� low maintenance and high robustness

Self-Learning Treatment System
Formation of H 2S depends on:
- flow rate of waste water - residence time of waste water in pressure pipes
26
- ageing characteristics of waste water- inflowing H 2S-content - weather conditions, temperature and season
