OdorEyes
Gas Odorant
Monitor-Transmitter
The OdorEyes Monitor-Transmitter automatically
measures the concentration of any commonly used mercaptan
odorant in natural gas or vaporized LPG (liquified
petroleum gas). An electrochemical sensor is exposed
to a flowing sample at user selected intervals. The
measurement signal can be recorded to verify the accuracy
with which mercaptan has been added to odorless fuel
by an odorizer system. The signal can also be used
as a feedback to control the odorizer, thus assuring
accurate odorization levels despite varying temperatures,
pressures and pipeline flow rates.
During each sample sequence, gas flows through the
sensor chamber for six minutes at 0.5 liters per minute.
The mercaptan measurement is an average concentration
compiled during the last minute of this sampling cycle.
The latest reading is indicated by a four-digit display
in pounds of mercaptan per million standard cubic
feet of gas. It is also transmitted as a linear 4-20
mA DC signal with span of 0.25 to 2.0 lbs/MMscf. Programmable
high and low alarm signals and a communications link
using RS-485 and MODBUS protocol are also provided.
With periodic calibration using a known gas, accuracy
is ± 3% of full scale.
