The odorization of natural gas is a crucial step to ensure the safety of infrastructure and consumers. Sulfur-based compounds, such as mercaptans and TetraHydroThiophene (THT), are added to make gas detectable by the human nose. This process is essential for leak prevention and compliance with international regulations.
Natural Gas Odorization Analysis (H₂S & Mercaptans – ppm)
For over 30 years, energyMEDOR ppm has been a leading solution for the precise analysis of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and mercaptan concentrations in natural gas. The main compounds used for odorization vary by country but typically include:
- Ter-Butyl Mercaptan (TBM)
- TetraHydroThiophene (THT)
- MethylEthylSulfide (MES)
With more than 1000 instruments sold worldwide, the MEDOR is trusted by major gas companies, including KGC (Korea), PGEG & PSG (USA), GDF & TOTAL (France), as well as companies in Spain, the UK, Germany, Austria, and Japan.
