TRACE SULFUR COMPOUNDS ANALYSIS SULFUR SPECIES IN NATURAL GAS, NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS, LIQUID PETROLEUM GASES, LIGHT PETROLEUM LIQUIDS, AND CONDENSATES. SGS oil & gas laboratories support SULFUR SPECIES COMPOUNDS DETECTION OF SULFUR exploration, production, processing and DETECTED INCLUDE: COMPOUNDS PRESENT AFTER refining customers with a broad range of THE INDUSTRIAL PROCESS: trace sulfur compound analysis testing Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) capabilities for natural gas, natural gas Certain odorous sulfur compounds, such liquids (NGL), liquid petroleum gases Carbonyl Sulfide (COS) as ethyl mercaptan, tetrahydrothiophene, (LPG), light petroleum liquids, and Methyl Mercaptan and occasionally thiophene are condensates. Trace sulfur compounds intentionally added to propane for use as are detected at ppb and ppm levels. Ethyl Mercaptan warning agents in the detection of LPG When needed, detailed sulfur molecular Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) leaks. We can detect sulfur compounds speciation is available. Carbon Disulfide (CS2) in these liquids, in concentrations as low Many sulfur compounds are corrosive, as 20 ppb, to assure the quality of the damaging infrastructure, inhibitingand Isopropyl Mercaptan added odorant. destroying catalysts employed in tert-Butyl Mercaptan Testing and reporting are rapid, upon downstream processing, and impart receipt of samples. undesirable odors to products. The ability n-Propyl Mercaptan by SGS to speciate sulfur compounds in Ethylmethyl Sulfide various petroleum liquids is useful in controlling sulfur compounds in finished sec-Butyl Mercaptan products and is frequently more Thiophene important than the ability to simply measure total sulfur content alone. Isobutyl Mercaptan Gas chromatography with sulfur Diethyl Sulfide chemiluminescence detection provides a n-Butyl Mercaptan CONTACT INFORMATION: rapid means of identifying and Methyl tert-Butyl Sulfide quantifying sulfur compounds in SGS NORTH AMERICA INC. petroleum feeds and products. Examples Methyl Disulfide Oil, Gas and Chemical Division include sulfur compounds in monomers 900B Georgia Avenue 2-Methyl-Thiophene such as ethylene and propylene; solvents Deer Park, TX 77536 including paraffins, benzene, toluene and 3-Methyl-Thiophene TEL: +1 281 479 7170 xylenes, and fuels such as natural gas, EMAIL: [email protected] Tetrahydrothiophene LPG, gasoline, kerosene, jet, and diesel.
