Although methane, the primary component of natural gas, is commonly used as the reference fuel in combustion studies, the oxidation behavior of CH<sub>3</sub>SH in premixed methane flames remains poorly characterized, despite its presence in natural gas, biogas, and refinery streams. This study presents a detailed kinetic mechanism for simulating CH<sub>3</sub>SH-doped premixed CH<sub>4</sub> flames across a broad equivalence ratio range (Φ = 0.7–1.3). Results reveal a strong stoichiometric dependence: lean flames (Φ = 0.7) promote complete oxidation, yielding high concentrations of SO<sub>2</sub> and SO<sub>3</sub>, which pose risks of acid deposition and corrosion. In contrast, rich flames (Φ = 1.3) suppress SO<sub><i>x</i></sub> formation but significantly enhance the production of reduced sulfur species (H<sub>2</sub>S and CS<sub>2</sub>) by up to an order of magnitude. Stoichiometric conditions (Φ = 1.0) yield a mixed speciation profile. These findings underscore the critical need for precise equivalence ratio control.
