CONCLUSION
Catalyst type A is recommendable from the aspect of overall life cycle cost along with consideration of factors
such as Capex, Opex.
From this study, it could be concluded that the following factors need to be considered in designing the H2S Abatement Unit:
1) feed gas composition to Absorber Unit 2) acid off-gas composition to H2S Abatement Unit 3) catalyst type 4) change out of catalyst frequency 5) process flow alternatives 6) cost analysis of Capex and Opex7) life cycle cost of the system 8) the plant lay out factors and change out/disposal procedure
