← ScienceWhich outcome results when hydrogen sulfide production exceeds scrubber capacity?
A)Reversible reaction shifts to reactants
B)Corrosion rate exponentially increases✓
C)Amine solution becomes more concentrated
D)Absorption favors lower operating pressure
💡 Explanation
Localized acid formation results because corrosion occurs as the proton concentration increases due to exceeded H2S removal capacity; this shifts the protolysis equilibrium. The increased corrosion rate is the key outcome, rather than equilibrium shifting toward reactants, because this effect is immediate and potentially catastrophic.
