Abstract
A method for removal of H.sub.2 S from an H.sub.2 S-containing natural gas stream in which a high surface area contactor is inserted into the natural gas stream and at least one H.sub.2 S scavenging agent is injected into the natural gas stream upstream of the contactor, the result of which is the distribution of the H.sub.2 S scavenging agent on at least a portion of at least one surface of the contactor. The distributed H.sub.2 S scavenging agent is contacted with the natural gas stream resulting in absorption of the H.sub.2 S into the H.sub.2 S scavenging agent and reaction therewith, forming at least one byproduct. Thereafter, the byproduct is removed from the natural gas stream.
