H2S Management by Monitoring

H2S is a common problem in the waste management industry. The unpleasant odor is not only a nuisance to customers and citizens, but is also physically harmful. H2S is a key ingredient in the deterioration of concrete (literally the foundation of this industry). There are methods commonly used to remove H2S from confined areas, but their high cost makes them impossible to implement everywhere. So, in order to manage the problems effectively, you must measure H2S reliably.

Arizona Instrument LLC manufactures the Jerome® line of H2S analyzers. These instruments are used to pinpoint problem areas within a system so the appropriate action can be taken. Because the human nose is very sensitive and can detect H2S at .008 ppm (parts per million), some companies feel that a nose test will tell them when and where they have a problem. Unfortunately H2S desensitizes the olfactory and after a few minutes that individual will not be able to smell the chemical anymore, making this method ineffective. People are incapable of detecting multiple problems at one time, and it is harmful to the individual. Jerome® analyzers read between .003 ppm and .050 ppm measuring, at levels where the H2S is dangerous for people and concrete. Without a Jerome® H2S analyzer it is not possible to assess problems for maximum savings of time and money.

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas

If you wait for a warning, it may be too late

Hydrogen sulfide is a powerful and deadly gas which smells like rotten eggs at low concentrations and has a sweet smell at high concentrations. But workers should not rely on the smell as a warning. At high concentrations H2S may overcome one's sense of smell. The result could be instant death. Long exposure to low concentrations will also deaden the sense of smell.

What it is

H2S is explosive - it will ignite and explode when subjected to a spark or ordinary flame - in any concentration from 4% to 44% of the air. It is also soluble in water and oil, so it may flow for a considerable distance from its origin before escaping above ground or in an entirely unexpected place. Because the vapor (gas) is heavier than air, it may travel for a long way until ignited and then flash back towards the source.

Where is it found?

Hydrogen sulfide is found in large amounts in natural gas and petroleum. Any worker involved in extracting gas and petroleum from the ground, or in storing, transporting or processing gas is at risk from exposure to H2S Hydrogen sulfide exists in solution in crude oil, and workers are exposed when the gas begins to "pass off" as it reaches the surface or comes into contact with air. This can occur at any point, including all stages of the refining operation, and it is accelerated by heat or hot weather.

H2S Sources

H2S is found widely in industry and few workers are warned of its dangers or their exposure. It is formed by the decomposition of organic materials, so it is found in natural gas and oil, in mines, wells, fertilizers, sewers, and cesspools. It is given off as a by-product in the manufacture of rayon, synthetic rubber, dyes and the tanning of leather.

Health Effects of H2S acute exposure

First of all, and most important, H2S can kill you. The extent of acute poisoning danger depends on the concentration of H2S in the atmosphere.
When you breathe in H2S, it goes directly through your lungs and into your bloodstream. To protect itself, your body "oxidizes" (breaks down) the H2S as rapidly as possible into a harmless compound. If you breathe in so much H2S that your body can't oxidize all of it, the H2S builds up in the blood and you become poisoned. The nervous centers in your brain which control breathing are paralyzed. Your lungs stop working and you are asphyxiated - just as though someone had come up and put their hands around your neck and strangled you. A worker can be overcome by H2S and lose consciousness in a few seconds; luckily if he is rescued in time and is given artificial respiration within a few minutes, the worker may recover. Either artificial mouth-to-mouth or an oxygen supply system of resuscitation will work if it is done in time, because, with an adequate source of oxygen and no further H2S intake, the body will quickly break down the H2S still in the blood.

This is acute poisoning. It can occur with no warning at all, since even the sense of smell may be overcome, and it can be fatal within a few seconds.

Although acute poisoning is deadly if it is not caught in time, when caught and treated it is reversible and this is why rescue attempts with proper safety equipment are so important.
Recent evidence has shown irreversible brain damage from acute high doses. READ MORE

Mercury Effects

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

* Routes of Exposure

Exposure to mercury vapor can occur through inhalation, and eye or skin contact.

* Summary of toxicology

1. Effects on Animals: Mercury vapor can damage the kidneys, liver, brain, heart, lungs and colon in experimental animals. It is also mutagenic and can affect the immune system. Rabbits exposed for a single 4 hour period to mercury vapor at a concentration of 28.8 mg/m(3) developed severe damage to the kidneys, liver, brain, heart, lungs, and colon [Clayton and Clayton 1981]. Rabbits exposed to 0.86 mg/m(3) for 6 weeks had significant brain and kidney damage, which resolved on cessation of exposure. Exposure to 6 mg/m(3) mercury vapor caused severe damage to the kidney, heart, lung, and brain of rabbits; however, dogs exposed to 0.1 mg/m(3) for 83 weeks had no microscopic indication of tissue damage [Clayton and Clayton 1981]. Mercury may injure the kidneys through an autoimmune mechanism [ACGIH 1991]. Mercury was mutagenic in eukaryotic cells [ACGIH 1991].

2. Effects on Humans: Mercury vapor can cause effects in the central and peripheral nervous systems, lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes in humans. It is also mutagenic and affects the immune system [Hathaway et al. 1991; Clayton and Clayton 1981; Rom 1992]. Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor causes severe respiratory damage, while chronic exposure to lower levels is primarily associated with central nervous system damage [Hathaway et al. 1991]. Chronic exposure to mercury is also associated with behavioral changes and alterations in peripheral nervous system [ACGIH 1991]. Pulmonary effects of mercury vapor inhalation include diffuse interstitial pneumonitis with profuse fibrinous exudation [Gosselin 1984]. Glomerular dysfunction and proteinuria have been observed mercury exposed workers [ACGIH 1991]. Chronic mercury exposure can cause discoloration of the cornea and lens, eyelid tremor and, rarely, disturbances of vision and extraocular muscles [Grant 1986]. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in individuals exposed to mercury vapor [Clayton and Clayton 1981]. Mercury vapor is reported to be mutagenic in humans, causing aneuploidy in lymphocytes of exposed workers [Hathaway et al. 1991]. READ MORE

Evaluation of Portable Mercury Vapor Monitors and Their Response to a Range of Simulated Oil Processing Environments

K.J. Grice, L.D. Van Orman, and L.A. Young, Chevron Energy Technology Company, and C.R. Manning, Assay Technology, Inc.
copyright 2008, Society of Petroleum Engineers

Abstract
Portable mercury vapor monitors are relied on for quick decision making to determine safe work practice requirements. There is little specific information regarding their use limitations and/or potential interference data, especially in environments of high temperature/humidity and various concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) and inorganic gases, as are commonly found in oil processing environments. This work was undertaken to objectively assess the accuracy of each monitor under ideal conditions and then assess the effects of potentially interfering conditions or substances on monitor accuracy. This data was used to highlight specific limitations and create field user guides.

A secondary objective was to compare the overall usability and user-friendliness of the monitors evaluated. The paper describes the experimental method used and results provided by several mercury vapor monitors exposed to known concentrations of mercury vapor while other variables such as temperature, relative humidity and the concentration of potentially interfering compounds were varied to simulate field measurement conditions. Two types of detection technology were assessed, Gold Film resistance and Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption, (CVAAS). All monitors were tested against a variety of potential interference compounds, e.g., organics, benzene, toluene, and inorganics, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The testing revealed several strengths and weaknesses for each monitor. Negative interference was found with the Gold Film unit in high relative humidity (RH). All CVAA units showed positive interference with high organic concentrations. Poor repeatability across the entire exposure range is common. Survey technicians need to become familiar with the specific limitations of the survey meter used to accurately assess the work environment where mercury (Hg) vapors are present. READ MORE

H2S in Beer

Genome-Wide Analysis of Gene Expression for Hydrogen Sulfide Production in the Bottom-Fermenting Yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus

The amount of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produced by yeast during fermentation has a significant effect on beer flavor. Control of H2S production is important in brewing due to its very low threshold for detection. H2S is formed as an intermediate during reductive sulfate assimilation, which leads to formation of the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. Typically, a cropped yeast from one fermentation is continuously reused to pitch subsequent lager fermentations. The physiologic state of the cropped yeast is thought to influence the quality of the subsequent fermentations. DNA microarray analysis has recently been used to compare genome-wide patterns of gene expression in the bottom-fermenting yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus.

Here, we investigated the relationship between the physiological state of the cropped yeast and its ability to produce H2S. A strain of S. pastorianus was used to ferment wort at a normal and at an elevated temperature and was then cropped and subjected to microarray analysis. The ability of the cropped yeast to produce H2S during the subsequent fermentation was also analyzed. H2S production by the yeast cropped from the fermentation conducted at the higher temperature was greater than that at the normal temperature. Expression of genes involved in reductive sulfate assimilation was found to have increased in the yeast cropped from the fermentation conducted at the higher temperature, suggesting elevated consumption of methionine. Therefore, we examined the effect of adding methionine to the wort. H2S production by the yeast cropped from the fermentation supplemented with methionine was found to be lower. DNA microarray analysis indicated that the addition of methionine resulted in a decrease in the expression of genes involved in the sulfate assimilation pathway. These data suggest that H2S production can be controlled by alteration of fermentation conditions and wort composition.

Extremely Low Level Mercury Vapor Analysis

Some applications require the analysis of mercury at very low levels, for example, 100 nanograms/cubic meter (ng/mg3) or .0001 milligrams/cubic meter (mg/m3) level. For this testing, a variation on the standard flow rate of 5 cc/minute may be more practical in order to shorten the sample collection time.

NOTE: Arizona Instrument recommends a flow rate of 5 cc/minute for most industrial hygiene applications. Specifications are written based on suchy a flow rate. The following a suggested alternative and should be verified by using your own internal quality control standards. Direct injections of mercury vapor using the Jerome® Mercury Functional Test Kit should be used in the Q.C. program. READ MORE

Save Your Infrastructure

H2S will rob you blind if left unchecked!

Concrete is the foundation of the waste management industry. Pipes, buildings, and treatment facilities are constructed with this seemingly sound material. Thousands of miles of concrete pipes lie underground as a network for this industry to manage sewage and water. Not only is this pipe network crucial to the operations of this industry, but it is also one of its biggest expenses. Installing these pipes requires a tremendous amount of time, money and manpower. In order to preserve this investment, the pipes must be actively managed, because there is a gas that is wearing down, corroding these pipes, and overtime all of them will fail at the hands of H2S.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas being produced naturally in sewage. This gas reacts with gypsum in the concrete and causes erosion. H2S leads to the creation of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and together these chemicals attack concrete. Concrete isn’t the impervious rock that people like to assume it is, and over time the structural integrity is affected, creating big problems for the managing company.

These problems can be fixed though. H2S can be removed from confined spaces, but the process of removal needs to be applied strategically to keep prices down. Randomly administering H2S removal technology would likely result in high costs and inadequate elimination of the problem. That is why effective testing is necessary for managing the problem and protecting infrastructure.

Arizona Instrument LLC manufactures the Jerome® H2S analyzer. This instrument is used to pinpoint problem areas within a system so the appropriate action can be taken. Because the human nose is very sensitive and can detect H2S at .008 ppm (parts per million), some companies feel that a nose test will tell them where they have a problem. The problem with this theory is that H2S desensitizes the olfactory and after a few minutes the individual will not be able to smell the chemical anymore. This makes people incapable of detecting multiple problems at one time, and it is harmful to the individual. Without it a Jerome® H2S analyzer it is not possible to accurately assess problems.

Jerome® analyzers read between .003 ppm and .050 ppm. At these levels, hydrogen sulfide is not just a nuisance, but also a real danger to concrete infrastructure. Personal H2S monitors are not an alternative instrument because they are used by personnel to protect them from dangerous levels of this gas and operate in a much higher range (10 ppm to 100 ppm).
Arizona Instrument LLC manufactures the Jerome® 631, a portable unit, and the Jerome® 651, a fixed unit, and both instruments are excellent weapons in the war against concrete corrosion.

Ammonia Filter

The filter medium contained in the AZI ammonia filter will produce phosphoric acid if the material comes in contact with water. In the course of sampling, moisture vapor will be drawn through the filter. When the recommended intervals listed below are reached, the filter must be changed before harmful levels of acid are produced. Regardless of the humidity at the time and place of sampling operations, do not tip the filter on end but keep it level to prevent any accumulated liquid from escaping. Place the filter in a suitable container for proper disposal, refer to state and local laws. Ful MSDS for the filter medium is available from Perma Pure Inc. customer service. Read more
