acid gas
1.  n.  [Production Facilities] ID: 10557

A gas that can form acidic solutions when mixed with water. The most common acid gases are hydrogen sulfide [H2S] and carbon dioxide [CO2] gases. Both gases cause corrosion; hydrogen sulfide is extremely poisonous. Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases are obtained after a sweetening process applied to a sour gas.
