Sulfur compounds are known for their smell, but odor isn’t the only issue sulfur compounds create, at least when found in various kinds of gas. Too much sulfur in gaseous fuels, such as natural gas, petroleum gases and biogases, can be corrosive to equipment, result in regulatory issues, and can inhibit or destroy catalysts used in gas processing and utilization equipment. However, sulfur gases…
