Abstract: In the past two or three years environmentalists in almost every locale have been able to pass legislation against flaring, burning, venting, etc, In many cases our time honored methods of handling gas odorant are no longer legal. There may come a time in the near future when a standard gas odorant will be dispensed from bulk tanks to gas company owned portable high pressure tanks. That would be one way to achieve a closed system loading method. Another way would be to use a portable compressor to depressure storage tanks into the gas line. All of the above sounds expensive compared to simply emptying a drum into a tank, but in extreme cases in the past, several gas companies have built vapor tight buildings, and used other quite expensive methods of odor control. In our environment on the Texas Gulf Coast we have a heavy industrial complex. As a result we have county, state, city and federal inspectors who may drop in at any time at all. The combinaatlon of all of these forces have brought about some changes in methods of handling smelly compounds. In the following paper we will explore some of the methods now employed in trouble areas, and some of the methods that may be employed in the future.
