Dear sirs,
Kindly i want to ask about the limitations of sour gases in lpg to use the simple caustic wash treatment , as i know the sulfur content sholud be very low as spent caustic resulted from H2S is non regenrable , for that the caustic wash is used mainly to treat mercaptans ( spent caustic of it is regenrable) and amine unit can not deal with all mercaptans.
so, what is the limits of H2S in LPG to be treated with simple caustic wash unit , from econmic point of view as operating cost will be high i think i will lose all the caustic used in treatment .
i searched alot and i could not to reach to a fixed number or a design guide for this case , i appreiciate your kind help
Thanks
