Patent ID: 10416141

Abstract:
Method for the detection and quantification of the H2S which measures concentration of the H2S in the drilling mud including the steps of measurement of the initial concentrations of H2S in free form and of the hydrogen sulphide HS− and sulphide S2 − ion species, dissolved in the sample of mud; acidification of the sample of mud, to generate gaseous H2S, making the hydrogen sulphide (HS−) and sulphide (S2−) ions dissolved in the mud and the H2S precipitated in solid form in the scavengers react; measuring concentration of the gaseous H2S formed following the first acidification; and relative system including at least: a mud sample collector; a unit measuring concentration of the hydrogen sulphide HS− and sulphide S2− ion species in the sample; a unit for measuring concentration of the free H2S; a unit to acidify the sample of mud; electronic controller and storage and processing of the measurements made.
