Gas 1 containing hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbon contaminants is processed in the facility (FIG. 2) in a configuration that is recycled so that the waste stream disappears. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the contemplated method and configuration, hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur components are converted to sulfur product 37, carbon dioxide 44A is separated with sufficient purity for oil regeneration or sale, and hydrocarbon contaminants are Purified to a commercial hydrocarbon product 49. |
