I worked in a light hydrocarbons plant for 15 years. We cracked lights like ethane and propane ( and sometimes naphtha ) to make ethylene and propylene. Later we dehydrogenated propane to make propylene and a shit load of H2.

We always talked about our streams. C4+ heavies, c2 lights. We had one whole section of the plant designed to remove sulfur. We used a caustic wash process along with catalysts. There are different types of sulfur that require different processes. Sulfur is a poison to our catalysts later in the plant.
Interesting, the different kinds of "sulfur" are basically different kinds of organosulfur compounds that can be present in sour crude (and some in sweet).  The thiols are removed by caustic wash (generating waste which is unpleasant).  Some of the rest could be removed by oxidation but I don't know if they do that.  Sulfur compounds tend to attach to most catalysts and never let go.  All this generates a lot of waste which has negative value.

Is ketchup on a corndog more allowable than on a hotdog?

Summer has arrived, here anyway, pretty much.  In Cincy, I knew it would be heinous if I needed the AC when driving to work.  It's 71°F already and sunny.

Might be pool time today, have not been this year.

I threw a rubber baseball off the tennis practice wall yesterday and was soaked.  Then I ran stairs a bit.  The wife wouldn't hug me when I got home, she's finicky.
