Claim:
1. A method for removing hydrogen sulfide from crude oil and water comprising: filling a first container with water; filling a second container with crude oil and water, wherein the crude oil comprises hydrogen sulfide; distributing air in a first stream from a device that can create airflow to the first container, using a first connection running from the device to the first container, wherein a distal end of the first connection comprises at least one opening; collecting air in a space located within the first container, the collected air comprising hydrogen sulfide; transferring the collected air from the space through a connection to an air compartment; distributing air in a second stream from the device to the air compartment using a second connection running from the device to the air compartment; mixing the second stream and the collected air to form an air mixture; removing the air mixture from the air compartment; distributing water from the first container to the second container; measuring the amount of hydrogen sulfide in the crude oil within the second container; continuing to distribute water from the first container to the second container; returning water from the second container to the first container; continuing to distribute air in the second stream from the device to the first container; continuing to transfer air from the space from the air compartment; and continuing to measure the amount of hydrogen sulfide in the air mixture.
