Sour Gas


Sour Gas is a product from 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, where it gives 150 mB of sour gas from 1000 mB of crude oil:

Crude Oil
1,000mB
Vacuum Heavy Oil
400mB
Reformate
250mB
Vacuum Light Oil
200mB
Sour Gas
150mB

It 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 used in reforming, where 1000 mB of Sour Gas yield:

Sour Gas
1,000mB
Sulfuric Acid
750mB
Petroleum Gas
100mB
Liquid Hydrogen
150mB

Sour Gas can also be processes in a Coker Unit:

150mB

Other uses of it include the Arc Welder recipe for the High-Performance Circuit, the production of TATB and the vulcanization of latex.
