Chemical Engineering - Petroleum Refinery Engineering - Discussion

In the petroleum industry, the Lamp Method and Bomb Method are used to determine the sulfur content in petroleum products:

1. Lamp Method: This traditional method involves burning a sample of the petroleum product in a lamp and absorbing the resulting sulfur dioxide in a solution. The sulfur content is then determined by titration. It's mainly used for lighter petroleum products.

2. Bomb Method: Also known as the "High-Temperature Combustion Method", this involves combusting the sample in a high-pressure oxygen bomb. The sulfur in the sample is converted to sulfur dioxide, which is then absorbed and measured. This method is suitable for heavier petroleum products due to its robustness and accuracy.

These methods help ensure the quality and compliance of petroleum products with environmental regulations.

Sulphur content in lighter and heavier petroleum products is generally determined respectively by lamp method and bomb method.

Option A is right. Light products by lamp method and heavy product by bomb method.
