Dear all

In a Steam Cracking unit there are Sulphur spec for feedstocks. However sulphur mercaptans don't have, at least at the majority of the plant I know, specification.

Do the sulphur mercaptans crack? Are they converted to H2S completely?
Are they totally inert to the caustic scrubbing?
If not C2 Hydro can be affected.

Do you have experiences with RSH downstream RGC?
Do you have sulphur mercaptans specification for liquid/gas feeds?

Regards,
André Vilelas
