APPLICATION-

1. Transmission Pipelines:

Application: Odorization often starts at major hubs in the transmission pipeline network. Large volumes of natural gas are transported over long distances in these high-pressure pipelines. Odorizing the gas at these points ensures that it's detectable as it moves towards distribution networks.

2. Distribution Networks:

Application: Local distribution companies (LDCs) are responsible for delivering natural gas to homes and businesses. They often have odorization units at various points in their distribution networks, especially as the gas pressure is reduced for delivery to consumers.

3. City Gate Stations:

Application: City gate stations are where natural gas is transferred from transmission pipelines to local distribution networks. Odorization is often performed at these stations to ensure that the gas entering the distribution network is properly odorized.

4. Industrial and Commercial Customers:

Application: Some large industrial and commercial customers might have their own odorization units, especially if they receive natural gas directly from transmission pipelines or if they have extensive on-site gas piping systems.

5. Underground Natural Gas Storage Facilities:

Application: Natural gas is often stored underground in large quantities to meet peak demand. Odorization might be performed when the gas is withdrawn from storage and injected back into the pipeline system. The odorization system will be chosen based on the flow rates and the specific requirements of the storage facility.
