H2S Awareness Session (For Oil & Gas Sector Employees)

Enroll course

Description

H2S-Hydrogen sulfide is one of the leading causes of workplace gas inhalation deaths in oil and gas industry, water treatment and other industries.

This online Course is designed for individuals who require H2S Training as a pre-requisite to employment and for businesses that require a simple and accessible solution for training their employees.

The students will go through all aspects of H2S including:

  • What is H2S

  • H2S Properties

  • H2S occurrence,

  • H2S detection,

  • Case study of H2S release

  • Health effects of H2S exposure,

  • Respiratory Protection

  • Rescue techniques of H2S victim,

  • Emergency procedure of H2S 

This course will explain in detail thoroughly what you need to know to remain safe around H2S.

Training can be paused or resumed at any time,so it is not necessary to take course in single sitting. You can take course as many time as you want, it will be life time accessible once you purchase it. Course includes interactive exercises to ensure understanding of course content

Who this course is for:

  • Oil and gas industry workers, Water treatment workers, Drilling rig workers, oil and gas refinery and plant workers, petroleum engineering, chemical engineering students, mining engineeringetc.
  • students of any engineering discipline who have intention to join oil and gas industry.

Hydrogen sulfide (also known as H2S, sewer gas, swamp gas, stink damp, and sour damp) is a colorless gas known for its pungent "rotten egg" odor at low concentrations. It is extremely flammable and highly toxic. Hydrogen sulfide is used or produced in a number of industries, such as. Oil and gas refining. Mining.
At low levels, hydrogen sulfide causes irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Moderate levels can cause headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, as well as coughing and difficulty in breathing. Higher levels can cause shock, convulsions, coma, and death.
Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, flammable, extremely hazardous gas with a “rot- ten egg” smell.
Those having prolonged exposure to high enough levels of H2S gas to cause unconsciousness may continue to experience headaches, reduced attention span and motor functions. Pulmonary effects of H2S gas exposure may not be apparent for up to 72 hours following removal from the affected environment
Prolonged exposure may cause nausea, tearing of the eyes, headaches or loss of sleep. Airway problems (bronchial constriction) in some asthma patients. Possible fatigue, loss of appetite, headache, irritability, poor memory, dizziness. Slight conjunctivitis ("gas eye") and respiratory tract irritation after 1 hour.
Conception. The largest 100 ppm H2S concentration hazard zone for platforms located in the eastern Santa Barbara Channel (Platforms Gail, Gilda, Grace, and Gina) has a maximum downwind distance of 813 feet.
At these concentrations H2S is not lethal and its presence can be detected by the sense of smell with its characteristic rotten egg odor. At the higher lethal H2S concentrations, typically found at production and acid gas removal installations, the nose becomes desensitized.
H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) training is a course designed for employees who are engaged in operations where there is a potential risk of H2S being present
Most hydrogen sulfide in the air comes from natural sources. It is produced when bacteria break down plant and animal material, often in stagnant waters with low oxygen content such as bogs and swamps. Volcanoes, hot springs and underwater thermal vents also release hydrogen sulfide
A low protein diet, or certainly if you're going to consume a moderate-high protein diet a high intake of fibre is also needed to offset it. In both human and animal studies, a high protein diet results in fecal microbiota changes that increase H2S production and decrease SCFA production.
Visibility. H2S is colourless and has a reflective ratio very similar to that of air making it extremely difficult for our eyes to detect. Boiling Point. ... Density. ... Flammable. ... Explosive. ... Dissolves in Water. ... Corrosiveness. ... Smell.
Hydrogen sulfide has a low odor threshold, and its smell may be detected below 1 ppm. The minimal perceptible odor is reported as 0.13 ppm
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have not classified hydrogen sulfide as to its carcinogenicity. The EPA has determined that data for hydrogen sulfide are inadequate for carcinogenic assessments.
The H2S release rate for each potential zone that may contain H2S gas is determined by multiplying the maximum H2S content and AOF rate as determined by the geological and engineering review of the available data. The paired data points need not be from the same well.
Water with hydrogen sulfide alone does not cause disease. However, hydrogen sulfide forms a weak acid when dissolved in water. Therefore, it is a source of hydrogen ions and is corrosive.
What happens to hydrogen sulfide when it enters the environment? When released into the environment, hydrogen sulfide dissipates into the air and it may form sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid. Hydrogen sulfide is estimated to remain in the atmosphere for about 18 hours.
H2S is immediately fatal when concentrations are over 500-1000 parts per million (ppm) but exposure to lower concentrations, such as 10-500 ppm, can cause various respiratory symptoms that range from rhinitis to acute respiratory failure.
Because hydrogen sulfide combines easily with water, damage to stock tanks below water levels can be severe. Water with hydrogen sulfide alone does not cause disease. However, hydrogen sulfide forms a weak acid when dissolved in water. Therefore, it is a source of hydrogen ions and is corrosive.
H2S levels of 100 ppm and higher are considered immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). Besides its poor warning properties, H2S is so dangerous because the level that can kill is much lower than that of many other toxic gases.
Use respiratory and other personal protective equipment. For exposures below 100 ppm, use an air-purifying respirator with specialized canisters/cartridges for hydrogen sulfide. A full face respirator will provide eye protection.
