  • Processes for producing hs using sulphur-reducing bacteria
    Patent number: 9085779
    Abstract: There is provided a process for producing H2S comprising: a) continuously providing an electron donor at a variable rate to a biosolution comprising sulphur-reducing bacteria; b) reacting elemental sulphur with HS? to from soluble polysulphide; c) providing said polysulphide to a bioreactor having the biosolution, thereby producing H2S gas in the bioreactor; and d) continuously removing H2S gas from the bioreactor, wherein an average rate of providing polysulphide to sulphur-reducing bacteria is equal to an average rate of polysulphide consumption by the sulphur-reducing bacteria.
