Analysis of Sulfur Compounds in Natural Gas by Nexis™ SCD-2030 According to ASTM D5504

Introduction

Varying types and amounts of sulfur-containing compounds are present in gaseous hydrocarbon streams. They contribute to the corrosion of facilities and the inhibition of catalytic reactions, leading to the deterioration of product quality. For these reasons, identifying and quantifying various sulfur compounds then becomes a fundamental requirement in the petrochemical industry from the viewpoints of quality control, safety, and manufacturing process evaluation of products. In this document, we analyzed sulfur-containing compounds contained in natural gas samples in accordance with ASTM D5504 using gas chromatography with a sulfur chemiluminescence detector (SCD). The Nexis SCD-2030 provides high selectivity and linearity for sulfur-containing compounds and minimizes the quenching effects of hydrocarbons.
