Basics
- A Chemical used to add a scent to various Compressed Gasses (Typically Methane or Propane / LPG )
- Thus when there is a leak one can detect the smell and respond accordingly
- Various Compounds Are Used, but the main ones are:
- Methanethiol (Common in Methane (aka "Natural Gas" ; CNG ) )
- Ethanethiol (Common in Propane / LPG )
- The Following can also be used (or blended with eachother and/or the odorants listed above)
- Dimethyl Sulfide
- Isopropyl Mercaptan (aka Isopropanethiol )
- Methyl Ethyl Sulfide
- Normal Propyl Mercaptan (aka Propanethiol )
- Secondary Butyl Mercaptan (aka 2-Butanethiol )
- Tertiary Butyl Mercaptan (aka tert-Butylthiol )
- Tetrahydrothiophene
- The Following can also be used (or blended with eachother and/or the odorants listed above)
