The document proposes and analyzes a sour water stripping process that uses natural gas as the stripping gas. Simulations were conducted comparing air, steam, and natural gas. Natural gas was found to be the most efficient at stripping NH3 and H2S contaminants down to required levels, while producing the lowest water concentration for use as boiler feed. An economic analysis determined the natural gas process to have the lowest overall costs compared to air and steam alternatives. The proposed design utilizes a single stripping column with natural gas to strip sour water for boiling feedwater.
