7、late 1986, a joint task force composed of representatives of the Gas Processors Association (GPA), the National Propane Gas Association (NFGA) and the Propane Gas Association of Canada (FGAC) has conducted an intensive study of LP-Gas odorants, odorization practices and related equipment in the LP-G

8、as fuel system. The task force investigation began with an extensive review of the published literature and available data, which revealed very little documented information on the behavior of odorants in LP-Gs. However, a large body of conjecture, unsupported by fact or data, demanded a thorough sc

9、ientific investigation of the odorant warning system. Early investigations included, among other things, experimental determination of vapor- liquid equilibria for current and possible alternate odorants, development of a simple and rapid field test to measure odorant concentrations, extensive resea

10、rch to determine the occurence and extent of odorant depletion in new and existing systems, and a critical review of industry practices. The first Symposium on LP-Gas Odorization Technology, held April 18-19,1989, documented the results of these and other early studies. This second Symposium on LP-G

12、the Joint Odorization Task Force. Papers for this Symposium were solicited from any interested party through an open “Call for Papers“ with the intent of stimulating maximum discussion and exchange of information on the subject of LP-Gas Odorization technology. In some cases, specific invitations we

14、h no commercial odorant available totally satisfies these ideal conditions. Inasmuch as odorized LP-Gas is a fungible product which may end up in more than one distribution system, a single odorant for the entire industry is desirable, if not absolutely necessary. Odorization is commonly accomplishe

15、d at the point of custody transfer into the retail distribution system, namely at the plant loading rack or pipeline terminal. With this background, let us examine what was happening in 1986. Earlier in the mid-l980s, there appeared to be an increasing number of questions and allegations raised rela

16、ting to the effectiveness of the odorants used in LP-Gas. There was a growing concern within the industry to determine the validity of these allegations and, if valid, what could be done about them. be a broad problem impacting all industry segments (producers, transporters, terminal operators, and

17、marketers), the industry formed a Joint Task Force on LP- Gas Odorization in late 1986 composed of representatives of the National Propane Gas Association, Gas Processors Association, and Propane Gas Association of Canada to share information and develop a coordinated approach to evaluate, research

18、and recommend solutions to any problems that might exist. Initial Joint Task Force efforts envisioned multiple studies of all identifiable facets of the alleged fade problem. These planned studies included Compilation and review of all known and pertinent data; Development of a field test method for

20、counties; and; Investigation of the so called “fade” mechanism and effects on tank surfaces. As these studies progressed, the Task Force agenda was broadened to include the following: Increased hazardous labeling and dissemination of factual information to all industry segments; A symposium on LP-Ga

21、s Odorization Technology, intended to document all known data on this subject. A review and revision, if deemed necessary, of NFPA 58 relative to odorization requirements; Theoretical and human response research into alternate or supplemental odorants; and, Cooperative efforts and coordination of re

22、search with those of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. One of the first jobs for the Task Force was to examine the results of an exhaustive literature search that had been conducted by the Institute of Ggs Technology in early 1986. The search failed to reveal any published research or dat

23、a relative to “fade” of odorant in LP-Gas systems. The search reviewed IGT Gas Abstract (1945-1986), Chemical Abstracts (1967-1986), and the Department of Energy Data Base (1974-1986). There did not appear to be any relevant previously published information on the “odor fade” subject. The Task Force

24、 identified the following categories of study and has either engaged in research in these areas or has monitored the research of others: 1. Odorant oxidation and/or adsorption in continuous service containers. 2. Odorant oxidation and/or adsorption in new steel containers or reinstalled used contain

25、ers after prolonged exposure to the atmosphere which involves two situations: a. Initial operation and first refill b. Effect of manufacturing processes and post manufacturing treatments of the interior tank surfaces. 3. Loss of odorant in the vapor phase due to adsorption onto porous interior room

26、surfaces. 4. Alternate odorants. Supplementing the industry concerns was the publication A review of the adequacy of ethyl mercaptan, and of a CPSC report in July 1986 which recommended research to determine the availability of improved odorants or mixture of odorant that are not as susceptible to o

27、dorant fading and are detectable to a wider segment of the population. Force has either administered research projects or has During the ensuing four years to the present, the Task monitored work done by others that address these four categories, all of which have been reported in last years or this

28、 Symposium. Let us examine what has been done. STUDY CATEGORY ONE The first category addresses the so-called “fading” of ethyl mercaptan in existing LP-Gas systems in continuous service. The industry did not believe this to be a problem area, because the LP-Gas is handled in closed pressurized syste

29、ms with minimal sources of oxidizing agents. However, since no significant data was available, the Task Force authorized a series of tests of the odorant concentration in field containers. Before any objective, quantitative evaluation of odorants in LP-Gas systems could be made, a simple, inexpensiv

Conventional laboratory analysis by gas chromatography, while more precise, requires expensive laboratory equipment, highly trained personnel, and extreme care in obtaining and transporting the samples for laboratory analysis. Although portable chromatography equip

Evaluation of the procedure established that the associated results are well within the stated accuracy of plus or minus 25%. In actual experience accuracy is often within plus or minus 10% of the amount measured. The

33、vapor phase method was published in 1988 as GPA Standard 2188 titled Tentative Method for the Determination of Ethyl Mercaptan in LP-Gas Using Length of Stain Tubes”. The Propane Gas Association of Canada developed and demonstrated the reliability of a similar method to measure mercaptan concentrati

34、on in liquid propane. The method was published by the Canadian General Standards Board as CANKGSB-3.0 Test for Ethyl Mercaptan Odorant in Propane, Field Method”. With the development of the GPA Standard 2188 Test Method, it was then possible to initiate a massive field test program in mid 1988 to me

Nine testers, typical of propane marketer distribution personnel, were provided instructions on the use of equipment and procedures described in GPA 2188. Of606 valid tests of tanks located in 14 states, not a single

36、 test indicated depletion of ethyl mercaptan. In additon, confirming sniff tests were positive for all tested tanks. The test program confirmed the absence of serious problems in tanks larger than 100 lb capacity that have been in continuous service. To confirm findings of these field tests conducte

The test program was designed to conduct stain tube testing of the vapor phase of 400 LP-Gas consumer tanks in four separ

Product Safety Commission, MSA Research Corporation completed a study of the effects of time and temperature on odorant concentration. The concentration of ethyl mercaptan in the vapor phase of a commercial supply of LP- Ga

40、s was monitored for nine months in two continuous service tanks and one new 50.0 gallon tank all under static conditions and exposed to western Pennsylvania ambient weather. The odorant concentrations in the used tanks varied with the temperature of the tank liquid, measuring above 10 ppm at the rec

The results from the new tank will be discussed when I cover testing of new steel tanks under category 2. In a separate temperature controlled study, as part of the MSA res

42、earch, concentration of ethyl mercaptan in the vapor phase of a commercial supply of LP-gas was monitored between the temperature limits of -30 to 120 deg. F. The ethyl mercaptan concentration in the used tanks at no time fell below limits specified in NFPA 58. Following completion of the MSA Resear

43、ch work for CPSC, MSA was then contracted by industry to perform an additional study on two of the tanks to study ethyl mercaptan concentration levels in simulated actual use conditions. The new tank, which had exhibited complete odorant depletion in four weeks, was emptied slowly by burning off pro

The concentration of ethyl mercaptan in the vapor phase remained steady and within acceptable limits throughout a test period

The tank was allowed to breath for a period of 72 hours through piping and an orifice to simulate an out-of-gas situation as might be experienced

46、 in real life. At the end of this exposure, the air concentration in the tank was 20%. The tanks was then refilled and monitored for ethyl mercaptan in the propane vapors. There was an immediate and rapid drop in ethyl mercaptan concentration in the vapor phase, followed by a recovery of odorant lev

With the tanks remaining in a static condition, measurement of odorant concentrations taken over a period of over 2 years revealed that the rate of loss in the purged tank was slower than in the unpurged tank. It was also observed that the rate of diethyl disulfide formation was In 1985 Phillips Petroleum Company tested the stability equal to the rate of loss of ethyl mercaptan, indicating that an oxidation type reaction was causing the loss. cylinders, it was observed that for samples stored in
