  2. Sewer gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_gas

    Sewer gases may include hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methane, esters, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Improper disposal of petroleum products such as gasoline and mineral spirits contribute to sewer gas hazards. Sewer gases are of concern due to their odor, health effects, and potential for creating fire or explosions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_gas_destructor_lamp

    Biogas forming in sewers via anaerobic digestion can be a potentially foul-smelling and explosive hazard (chiefly due to chemical spills). [citation needed] Unlike ordinary gas lamps for street lighting, the main purpose of sewer gas destructor lamps is to remove sewer gases and their hazards. Joseph Edmund Webb of Birmingham patented a sewer ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide_sensor

    Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a noxious gas characterized by its distinctive stench reminiscent of rotten eggs. [1] It goes by several colloquial names, including sewer gas, stink damp, swamp gas, and manure gas. [2] This gas naturally occurs in crude petroleum, natural gas, hot springs, and certain food items.

  5. Hydrogen sulfide - Wikipedia

    Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 S.It is a colorless chalcogen-hydride gas, and is poisonous, corrosive, and flammable, with trace amounts in ambient atmosphere having a characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs. [11]

  6. Biogenic sulfide corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogenic_sulfide_corrosion

    The hydrogen sulfide gas is biochemically oxidized in the presence of moisture to form sulfuric acid. The effect of sulfuric acid on concrete and steel surfaces exposed to severe wastewater environments can be devastating. [1] In the USA alone, corrosion causes sewer asset losses estimated at $14 billion per year. [2]

    The reaction is exothermic, releasing heat to soften the fats. Drain cleaners can also contain aluminum, which reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce bubbles of hydrogen gas that help to break up the clog. [11] The pressure buildup by gas generation can cause weaker pipes to burst, [11] and the heat generation can also soften plastic PVC pipes.
