Odor Fade Mitigation: Tailored Solutions for Low-Flow Odorization Challenges

Odorization issues at low flow

Burgess Pipeline Services offers a specialized service tailored to address odorization issues at low flow rates. Our expertise lies in providing comprehensive solutions to ensure the safety and reliability of your pipeline systems, particularly when it comes to mitigating the risks associated with odor fade.


Odor fade, the diminishing of the distinctive odorant in natural gas, can occur particularly at low flow rates, posing significant safety concerns as it compromises the ability to detect gas leaks by smell alone. This phenomenon can potentially lead to undetected leaks, posing risks to both property and life.


Our service begins with a thorough assessment of your pipeline infrastructure and operational conditions to identify potential areas of concern. Leveraging our extensive experience and cutting-edge technology, we develop customized strategies to effectively combat odor fade at low flow rates.


Key aspects of our service include:

  1. Odorant Injection Optimization: We optimize the injection of odorant into the gas stream to ensure consistent and adequate levels of odorant throughout the pipeline, even at low flow rates.

  2. Monitoring and Maintenance: We implement robust monitoring systems to continuously track odorant levels and detect any deviations from the desired levels. Regular maintenance and calibration ensure the reliability of these systems.

  3. Odorant Selection: We assist in selecting the most appropriate odorant compounds and concentrations based on the specific characteristics of your pipeline and operational requirements.

  4. Training and Education: We provide training programs to educate your personnel on the importance of odorization and the signs of odor fade. This empowers them to identify and respond to potential issues effectively.

  5. Regulatory Compliance: Our services ensure compliance with relevant regulatory standards and requirements related to odorization, helping you avoid penalties and legal complications.

  6. Emergency Response Planning: We help develop comprehensive emergency response plans to mitigate the consequences of gas leaks, including procedures for detecting and addressing odor fade-related issues.

At Burgess Pipeline Services, we are committed to safeguarding the integrity and safety of your pipeline infrastructure. Our specialized expertise in addressing odor fade odorization issues at low flow rates ensures that your operations remain secure and compliant with industry standards.
