Abstract: A method for corrosion control is disclosed, wherein the method includes limiting all components involved in sulfuric acid formation to low levels. The components include, but may not be limited to oxygen, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and H2S. The method may also include maintaining the H2S level above typical pipeline concentrations to inhibit the reactions to form sulfuric acid in the pipeline.

Abstract: Trace hydrogen may be removed from a dry gas by passing the dry gas at a temperature from about 0° C. to about 60° C. through at least one layer of a first hopcalite catalyst to produce product gas that is at least substantially free of hydrogen, wherein the first hopcalite catalyst has a molar ratio of copper to manganese of more than 0.55. Advantages include increase hydrogen capacity, lower feed and regeneration temperatures and lower sensitivity to carbon dioxide than equivalent processes using standard hopcalite catalyst having a Cu/Mn molar ratio from 0.45 to 0.55.
