Odorant Handling

The temporary tanks can be filled using DOT-approved cylinders or our 2400-gal bobtail truck equipped with a closed-loop vapor recovery unit. After project completion, residual odorant from the temporary installation can be filtered and transferred to the client’s new permanent installation.

As an option, odorized LNG may be used to maintain the supply.

"Over the years, Midland Resource Recovery has provided Union Gas with safe and dependable odourant services such as odourant system repairs, bypass odourant system replacements, emergency spill response, and odourant waste disposal. Odourant is a product with a potential that is often under-estimated; however, MRR fully understands its impact, and as a result, holds itself to the highest standard of work. Even a small odourant vapour release while completing a task is unacceptable to MRR. Furthermore, in the event of an odourant related emergency, MRR would be the first to receive a call, as they have the expertise and knowledge to assist in a time of crisis. This has been proven time and time again in our relationship throughout the years."
