Abstract: An optimum supplemental odorization rate for naturally odorized gas, ideally, would be just enough for adequate odor without excess. In order to determine that rate, it is necessary to develop a criterion for evaluating the odor level of the partially odorized gas. This evaluation is difficult because of the complex mixture of odorous sulfur compounds. Using odor test data acquired by Southern California Gas Company (SoCal) over a 15-year period, the relationship between the odor strength and sulfur composition was used to develop an appropriate supplemental odorization rate. Statistical analysis indicated that the Barton Titrator output is a better indicator of odor strength than gas chromatographic (GC) data. The Barton chart reading for organic sulfur can be used directly to determine the odor strength and, subsequently, the extent of supplemental odorization required.
