The best solution for NHT units is preactivation with the Totsucat process from Eurecat. This provides the quickest startup possible without any of the issues associated with in-situ sulfiding.

Yes, this is possible

My personal opinion is that this can be done if (and this is usually a big if) the sour fuel gas is essentially free of olefins and do-olefins. However, I would not recommend this.
