Abstract
Example gas odorization apparatus, control, and associated methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a pipe to contain a gas, the gas having a first concentration of odorant, and a fluid evacuation system coupled to the pipe and to a second location, the fluid evacuation system to evacuate the gas from the pipe and pump the gas to the second location, the gas at the second location having a second concentration of odorant greater than the first concentration of odorant.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a pipe to contain a gas, the gas having a first concentration of odorant;
- and
- a fluid evacuation system coupled to the pipe and to a second location, the fluid evacuation system to evacuate the gas from the pipe and pump the gas to the second location, the gas at the second location having a second concentration of odorant greater than the first concentration of odorant.
A method comprising:
- coupling a fluid evacuation system to a pipe, the pipe to contain a gas having a first concentration of odorant;
- coupling the fluid evacuation system to a second location;
- and
- activating the fluid evacuation system to evacuate the gas from the pipe and pump the gas to the second location, the gas at the second location having a second concentration of odorant greater than the first concentration of odorant.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a fluid evacuation system operatively coupled to a pipe to evacuate and compress gas from the pipe;
- and
- an odorizer fluidly coupled to the fluid evacuation system, the fluid evacuation system to provide the gas from the pipe to the odorizer and pump the gas from the odorizer to a second location, the odorizer to provide odorant to the gas.
