DMS Exact-S® is a dependable – and proven – sulfidation agent for the production of olefins. Applications Include: Anti-coking and carbon monoxide mitigation in ethylene production Catalyst sulfiding/activation Gas odorant Aromatic extraction DEDICATED AND RELIABLE DMS SUPPLY On-Purpose, continuous production since 1962 Dedicated DMS tank truck fleet Industry leading product quality and consistency Proven track record of reliability Manufactured in the USA LEARN MORE ANTI-COKING AND CARBON MONOXIDE MITIGATION IN ETHYLENE PRODUCTION Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) is primarily used in the petrochemical industry as a sulfidation agent in the steam cracking process in the production of olefins like ethylene and propylene. Sulfidation of furnace tube walls is critical to mitigating coke formation and controlling carbon monoxide (CO) levels. These mechanisms serve to maximize olefin furnace run length and reduce downtime. Learn more about the Science of Sulfidation CATALYST PRE-SULFIDING/ACTIVATION A variety of metallic catalysts are used throughout the petroleum refining process. Many of these catalysts require activation via sulfiding to achieve peak performance. DMS was one of the first sulfur-bearing agents used in the catalyst pre-sulfiding process and remains a key chemistry in the field. Learn more about catalyst pre-sulfiding GAS ODORANT Sulfur based compounds such as DMS play a critical role in gas leak detection. DMS, similar to other sulfur based odorants, has a very low odor threshold and can be identified by humans at the part per billion level. One advantage of DMS over other odorants, such as methyl mercaptan, is that it is very chemically stable. Mercaptan odorants oxidize over time, and the ability to smell their presence diminishes. AROMATIC EXTRACTION DMSO has an unusual affinity for aromatic hydrocarbons over aliphatic hydrocarbons. This allows for the use of DMSO as an extractant for BTX (benzene/toluene/xylenes) and other aromatics from mixture also containing aliphatic hydrocarbons.
