2Driving down a lease road to our Desert Gas Pilot
Location The purpose of this pilot is to remove
high levels of Hydrogen Sulfide from Natural Gas.
Our success on low levels has been tremendous
and is now moving to commercialization. With, as
few as, 30 wells online we will gross over
100,000 per month

5The Desert Gas System removes poisonous Hydrogen
Sulfide (H2S) from Natural Gas thus allowing the
gas to be sold at current high rates of over 6
per thousand cubic feet. Our current market is
for wells with 20-500 parts per million (ppm).
This location we are attempting to clean over
2000 ppm H2S down to below 4 ppm, thusly adding a
new market for our technology

over 2000 ppm H2S First Wet Chamber of Desert Gas
reduces the gas to 500 ppm Second Wet Chamber
reduces still farther
Third Wet Chamber brings
the gas to provide for removal of water vapor
8Economics of the Technology
We will assume the price of Natural Gas exceeds
6 per thousand cubic foot (mcf ) produced as a
basis for this projection With 30 wells each
producing 100 mcf per day and our charge of 25
of the revenue for cleaning up the gas below is
our estimated yearly revenues In the First Year
these 30 wells would GROSS 1,890,000 Our COST
for producing these wells would be
900,000 Our NET PROFIT would be
990,000 We have estimated over
285 wells in the Permian Basin Area alone that
could use this technology. Additionally other
fields have been identified asvery probable
locations

10Removing Hydrogen Sulfide from Natural Gas
Wells 1. Introduction Removal of hydrogen sulfide
is becoming increasingly important because of the
increased need for greater natural gas
production. There are thousands of wells in this
country that have been closed or are not
producing because of the high level of H2S
comprised in their gas streams and no economical
way to remove it. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly
corrosive gas and often the cost of ongoing
maintenance and replacement of pipelines, tubing
and other equipment make the prospect of
operating natural gas with high levels of H2S to
be breakeven at best. 2. The Procedure We at
Surfside Environmental, Inc. have a patent
pending simple and low cost technology for the
removal of virtually all the hydrogen sulfide
from any natural gas or liquid stream. This
method works at ambient temperature and pressure.
The device creates a bath of reacted water and
the gas flows from the bottom of the device thru
a catalytic chamber and water bath then out the
top of the device. Hydrogen sulfide present in
the sour gas gets absorbed by the reacted water
and is subsequently converted into elemental
Sulphur and iron sulfide. The Sulphur thus
generated is removed from the water bath by
filtration. The reacted water is again passed
thru the device and recycled for further cleaning
of sour gas. 3. The Chemistry H2S when dissolved
in the aqueous medium is ionized to H and S2-
The Sulphur ions can be oxidized by polyvalent
metal ions such as those of iron, which can exist
in both ferric (Fe3) and ferrous (Fe2) state.
When the Sulphur ion comes in contact with ferric
ion complex, it gets oxidized to elemental
Sulphur and is precipitated. 2Fe3 S2- 2Fe2
S The ferrous ions are later oxidized to ferric
ions by reaction with oxygen in the atmospheric
air. 4Fe2 O2- 4Fe3 H2O 4. Process Features
The process is highly selective to H2S. H2S
is converted into elemental Sulphur, which has
commercial value. Low H2S concentration at the
outlet (with easy start up and shut down
procedures Capable of handling fluctuations in
gas flow rates and H2S percentages. Low running
costs as scrubbing solution is completely
regenerated. 5. Principle of Operation The
operational schematics of the plant are as shown
in the flow diagram. The gas scrubbing is a
multiple stage process in which the sour gas is
first passed through a wet chamber where it mixes
with the reacted water that had been been pumped
thru our proprietary technology. Then the water
after mixing with Sour Gas is filtered for
removal of the contaminants. The sour gas is then
demisted by the coalecer. The clean gas is taken
out from the system and continues towards the
sales line. The H2S present in the gas is
absorbed by the reacted water and is later
converted into elemental Sulphur. The Sulphur is
removed by filtering using the filter system.
