Abstract: Maintaining and monitoring the level of odor in Natural Gas provides a means of detecting the presence of gas for safety purposes. Put simply, should gas leak into one of our homes, schools, or workplaces, the odor in the gas will alert the occupants before an explosion occurs. For an example of what could happen were we to ignore our odorization responsibilities, one need only look to the notorious school explosion that occurred in New London, Texas, in March of 1937. East Texas oil field money made the New London school district one of the wealthiest in the nation. To save about 30.00 a month, the United Gas Company had supplied the school with less expensive green or wet gas. A leak allowed the wet gas, which had no odor, to fill the basement of the school.
