Currently Tatneft Company produces more than 11 million tons of sulfurous oil annually. After GOST R 51858-2002 specifying the limiting concentration of hydrogen sulfide in stock-tank oil has been put in action, wide-scale investigation and development of effective H2S removal methods have come to the forefront of the company’s activity. Neutralization of H2S with chemical agents has proved its effectiveness, and what is equally important, this method does not call for heavy investments.
