Natural Gas odorization
Natural Gas odorization
(OP)
Hi everybody, I have a problem at hand. I have just started working for a new company producing NG for power generation.The problem here is that they dont odorize the gas, and planning to hook up more customers d/s. Doesn't this pose a hazard? Is it acceptable? Please share your experience, I had a talk to some big men here and seem to have no plan to odorize the gas in future.

If the gas is to be used to heat water, rooms, or cooking, then you should, or shall I say; are required to odorize if in the US.

You can get a "wick" type odorizer for small loads. We use them when we send gas into buildings in our plants. Very "cost effective".
If the gas is used in your plants and not "shipped out or sold" you run into an issue if you DO odorize it. If the odorizer quits and there is an accident, big trouble. If you have no odorizer and people are trained to recognize this and there is an accident, then slighly smaller big problem. Its like fire extinguishers, they are not always required, but if you have one and it doesn't work, the issues are multipled 10 fold.
