Abstract: The analysis of sulfur compounds in natural gas has been a problem ever since natural gas has been used as a source of energy. The original purpose of measurement of these components was to prevent excessive corrosion in the transmission and distribution systems. Later, the sulfur compounds were removed and then added in minute amounts to enable gas leaks to be detected by the addition of odorants. Too low amount of odorant was dangerous due to the inability to detect leaks, too large amount resulted in a large number of false gas leak reports. The suppliers must check out each of these reports. This procedure is time consuming and expensive. As these hydrocarbon streams became used in the manufacture of chemicals such as ammonia, and plastics, the analysis of these sulfur compounds became more important. The presence of these sulfur compounds in chemical plant feed gas will poison the catalyst used in the process, resulting in rather expensive replacement of catalyst. It is for these reasons that sulfur analysis has achieved a very important position in the overall analysis of natural gas streams.
