Mercaptan Odor Pipeline Cleaning Case Study
Project Situation
A major oil company in the Gulf Coast was preparing to perform hydro blast cleaning of product and vent lines. Their concern was strong mercaptan odors escaping during the cleaning process. We were contacted on a Thursday morning to provide a solution for the strong odor. Later that same day, 120 gallons of our Odor Neutralizer was shipped by overnight delivery. The products arrived on Friday, in time for the scheduled cleaning to begin on Saturday.
Products/Technology Used
O41064 Odor Neutralizer, 6 Gallon Units
Results
Odor Neutralizer was added into the hydro blast water and used on the smelliest vent lines. Both the cleaning contractor personnel and oil company personnel were very surprised by how well small amounts of Odor Neutralizer worked in controlling the mercaptan odors. Workers continued to add Odor Neutralizer into the hydro blast water until the vent line cleaning process was completed.
