Sour gas is a byproduct of late-game petroleum processing. It is one of the most reliable sources of sulfuric acid, making it an important gas in petroleum and bedrock ore processing.
Production
It can be made by processing crude oil in a vacuum refinery:
1,000mB
400mB
250mB
200mB
150mBIt is also a common byproduct of the hydrotreater, giving either 150 mB or 300 mB of sour gas in its recipes.
Uses
It can be reformed into a large quantity of sulfuric acid:
1,000mB
750mB
100mB
150mBAs such, it is very valuable for the sustainability of fracking towers, since they require fracking solution to operate.
Sour gas can also be processed in a coker unit:
1,000mB
150mB
It is also required to produce TATB as well as the vulcanization of latex into rubber.
Trivia
- In real life, sour gas refers to any natural gas that contains a certain amount of hydrogen sulfide. This can be seen in the leftover petroleum gas produced by reforming.
- Although it is feasible for sour gas to have such a high sulfur content, the in-game variant contains a suspiciously large amount of oxygen (since sulfuric acid is ).
