Gas Odorants

Municipal Gas Odorant LSO-12

  1. Proven technology for stable production and supply of powerful odorant compounds containing sulfur and nitrogen compounds.
  2. Sulfur-containing odorants such as mercaptans and sulfides are added to liquid natural gas (LNG), municipal gas and LP gas in order to enable quick and easy detection through smell. This prevents disasters due to poisoning, fire or explosion in the event of a leak.
    However, sulfur-containing compounds produce atmospheric pollutants like sulfur dioxide upon combustion, and are not desirable to use. As such, this product was developed to have superior odorant quality and strength with reduced sulfur levels.
  3. Patent No. 4289504
