Rapid Response Time for Dynamic Gas Flow Conditions
The system is designed with a response time of less than two seconds, allowing it to react quickly to changes in gas flow. This rapid response minimizes lag between changes in gas throughput and corresponding odorant injection adjustments, reducing the risk of under odorization or over odorization during transient operating conditions.
Fast response capability is particularly beneficial in temporary bypass operations, mobile odorization installations, renewable natural gas conditioning projects, and facilities with variable demand profiles.
Coriolis Flow Meter Technology for High Accuracy Odorant Injection
The BPS Portable Natural Gas Odorizer incorporates a Coriolis mass flow meter to directly measure odorant mass flow rate and fluid density. Unlike volumetric metering devices that rely on pressure and temperature compensation, Coriolis technology provides direct mass measurement independent of fluid properties.
By utilizing Coriolis measurement, the system achieves an odorant injection accuracy of 0.2 percent, ensuring precise and repeatable odorant delivery regardless of operating pressure, temperature, or odorant composition. This level of accuracy supports regulatory compliance, minimizes odorant consumption, and provides confidence in odorization reporting and audit documentation.
For engineering specifications and procurement evaluations, Coriolis based odorant measurement is widely recognized as a best practice for critical gas odorization systems.
Compatibility with Mercaptan Odorants for Conventional and Renewable Gas
The system is designed for use with standard odorants commonly specified for natural gas, renewable natural gas, liquefied natural gas, compressed natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas service. All wetted materials, seals, and system components are selected to ensure compatibility with odorant chemistry and trace contaminants commonly present in renewable gas streams.
This makes the BPS Portable Natural Gas Odorizer particularly well suited for renewable natural gas odorization at interconnection points, temporary RNG blending operations, and commissioning of renewable gas injection facilities.
Hazardous Area Classification and Electrical Compliance
The BPS Portable Natural Gas Odorizer is rated for Class I Division 2 (C1D2) hazardous locations, allowing it to be safely deployed in environments where flammable gas may be present under abnormal operating conditions.
This hazardous area rating supports use in pipeline rights of way, renewable natural gas interconnect sites, meter stations, city gate stations, industrial facilities, and other regulated gas environments.
Autonomous Power System with Solar Energy Support
The system operates on a 24 volt direct current (DC) electrical platform supported by a 100 amp hour (Ah) battery, providing up to 16.7 days of autonomous operation without external power. A 110 watt solar panel extends operational runtime and supports long term unattended deployment.
This autonomous power configuration eliminates the need for generators or temporary electrical infrastructure, reducing setup time and operating cost while improving reliability in remote locations, including rural renewable natural gas production and injection sites.
Remote Access, Monitoring, and Alarm Management
The BPS Portable Natural Gas Odorizer includes remote access and telemetry capability, allowing authorized personnel to monitor system performance, verify odorant injection rates, and review alarm conditions without being physically present at the site.
Integrated alarm functions provide alerts for system faults, abnormal operating conditions, and injection deviations. This capability improves operational awareness, reduces response time, and supports utility integrity management programs, regulatory compliance documentation, and preventive maintenance planning.
Compact Footprint and Transportable Design
With overall dimensions of 48 inches by 30 inches by 56.5 inches, the BPS Portable Natural Gas Odorizer is engineered for mobility and ease of deployment. The system can be transported in the back of a pickup truck, moved through standard doorways, or shipped via less than truckload (LTL) freight.
This portability allows utilities, renewable gas developers, and pipeline contractors to redeploy the system across multiple projects, maximizing asset utilization and return on investment.
Odorization Applications and Use Cases
The BPS Portable Natural Gas Odorizer supports a wide range of odorization applications, including:
-
Pipeline pickling operations
-
Pipeline conditioning
-
Temporary and emergency gas odorization
-
