A container on the vessel deck appears to be slowly leaking ethyl mercaptan (ethanethiol), and crew members have observed that a small pool of liquid has formed on the deck next to that container.
These results indicate that ethyl mercaptan's toxic vapors could be a serious concern for people close to or on the deck of the vessel.
Outside, on the deck of the vessel, the vapor from the evaporating puddle mixes quickly with the air and the concentration of the ethyl mercaptan vapor in the air remains low.

Available detector tubes provide a total measuring range of 0.5 to 160 ppm by volume of mercaptans, although the majority of applications will be on the lower end of this range (that is, under 20 ppm).
Besides total mercaptans, detector tubes are also available for methyl mercaptan (0.5 to 100 ppm), ethyl mercaptan (0.5 to 120 ppm), and butyl mercaptan (0.5 to 30 mg/M³ or 0.1 to 8 ppm).
It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

 Caustic Treating of MTBE and TAME Feedstocks
Since sulphur is detrimental to the alkylation process, a caustic treating system is in place at most refineries to extract the easily extracted methyl and ethyl mercaptans present in the mixed olefinic LPG stream.
Light mercaptans such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, are very easily sweetened whereas heavier mercaptans are not.
This degassing step is required regardless of the mercaptan content of the untreated dehumanized catalytic cracked gasoline because even a minor amount of air injection at the sweetener will cause the TAME feed to be off-spec regarding oxygen content.

 The dangers of propane tanks - Williams Bailey Law Firm   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Propane is an odorless gas; the "rotten eggs" smell most people associate with propane is actually provided by ethyl mercaptan, an additive which is mixed with propane gas to alert users of a leak.
There have been several cases against propane gas grill manufacturers where consumers have been injured or killed while transporting propane tanks, or when operating gas grills in areas that were not properly ventilated, because of leaks they did not detect.
The length of time varies, depending on such factors as the age and condition of the tank, but studies have shown that ethyl mercaptan can significantly dissipate within five to seven days after a propane tank has been filled and may become undetectable within just three weeks.

However, what you actually smell is a substance called ethyl mercaptan.
In order to give residents some warning of a gas leak, tank manufacturers add ethyl mercaptan to the gas, giving it a very distinct odor.
One big problem with ethyl mercaptan is that when it comes into contact with air, rust, water or other substances, it loses its smell and no longer functions as a gas leak indicator.
