The Odorization Partner Behind Safe, Reliable Gas Distribution
-p-1600.png)
Why MRR
Gas utilities have trusted MRR since 1996 to keep odorization programs safe, compliant, and running without interruption. We support the full lifecycle of odorization infrastructure across North America: engineering and turnkey installation, odorant delivery, pipeline conditioning, planned maintenance, remote monitoring, and 24/7 emergency response. One partner, accountable from first fill to final decommissioning.

Gas Utility
Challenges
1
Pressure to Do More With Less
Every O&M dollar faces more scrutiny, while compliance obligations keep growing. Utilities need odorization programs that cost less to run without giving an inch on safety or reliability.
How We Help
MRR Bypass Odorizers
CSA and CRN certified systems engineered for longer intervals between refills, cutting truck rolls and site visits.
One Mobilization, Multiple Scopes
Bundle decommissioning, installation, and transfers into a single coordinated site visit, cutting mobilization costs and downtime.
Planned Maintenance
Keeping equipment running and managing maintenance proactively keeps long-term repair costs down.
Arida™ Odorant Drying
Restores wet or contaminated odorant for reuse instead of costly disposal and replacement.
2
Aging Assets Nearing End of Life
Odorizers installed decades ago are still in service across most distribution systems. Every year they run past their design life raises the odds of leaks, injection drift, and an unplanned outage at the worst possible time. MRR services every major injection technology in the field, so no part of your fleet is someone else's problem.
How We Help
Equipment Decommissioning
Safe removal of aging odorizers and tanks, with odorant recovered and sites left audit-ready.
Rental & Temporary Odorization
Fully contained rental systems keep gas odorized during upgrades, outages, and emergencies.
Odor Fade Resolution
Diagnosing and correcting odorization performance issues in existing pipelines before they become compliance problems.
3
Rapid Infrastructure Expansion
New mains, system reinforcements, and RNG interconnects all add fresh steel that strips odorant from the gas. Odor fade is a chemistry problem MRR is equipped to test for and address. Commissioning without engineered conditioning invites nuisance leak calls, or worse, a line that cannot be smelled.
How We Help
Pipeline Conditioning (Pickling)
The engineered process MRR pioneered to eliminate odor fade before a pipeline is energized.
NeLo™ Zero-Emission Conditioning
Fully contained, closed-loop conditioning with no flaring, venting, or odorant loss.
Turnkey System Installation
PE-stamped design through commissioning, including orbital-welded construction for fewer leaks over the life of the asset.
Odorant Delivery
Reliable supply as a Chevron Phillips odorant distributor, including emergency deliveries when schedules slip.
MAV™ Analytical Validation
Documented validation of odorant coverage before first gas, not an estimate.
4
Experienced Operators Are Retiring
The technicians who built and ran your odorization program are leaving, and their judgment is not written down anywhere. Utilities need that knowledge transferred, proceduralized, and backed up by a partner who does this every day.
How We Help
Training and Operational Preparedness
Hands-on training in system operation, maintenance, and emergency response, taught by the technicians who do this work every day.
Program Audits & Best Practices
Expert evaluation of your odorization program against industry standards and field-proven practice.
Spill Kits & Response Procedures
Crews equipped with the tools and procedures to handle odorant safely before an incident, not during one.
24/7 Technical Support
An odorization expert on the phone whenever your crew hits something they have not seen before.
5
Need for Data & Visibility
It is no longer enough for gas to be odorized; utilities must demonstrate it. Auditors and commissions increasingly expect continuous records, sampling data, and documented program oversight.
How We Help
Watchtower™ Remote Monitoring
Continuous odorant tank telemetry, so refills are scheduled on real consumption, with common compliance gaps caught early.
Analytical Services
Field sampling and odorant concentration testing that verify performance where it matters, at the end of the line.
Compliance Documentation
Reporting and program records that stand up to regulator and auditor scrutiny.
MRR Key Services for Gas Utilities
Arida™ transforms wet or contaminated odorants back into usable condition, saving expensive disposal or replacement costs. It's particularly valuable for systems prone to freezing in winter, where excess moisture causes significant challenges.
From MAV™ analytical validation to risk assessments and audit-ready records, MRR gives operators a data-driven, defensible view of odorization performance, catching odor fade risks and compliance gaps before they become incidents.
Our teams mobilize quickly to contain spills, control odors, and protect nearby communities and operations, and we supply purpose-built odorant spill kits to enable rapid response in the field. Available 24/7 at 1-844-900-1MRR.
As a Chevron Phillips odorant distributor, MRR delivers, transfers, and relocates odorant with the product fully contained at every step. Safety-first procedures minimize odor, protect personnel, and keep your operational sites clean.
MRR manufactures and sells the consumables that keep odorant contained and neutralized: EZ Carb™ activated carbon filters, mercaptan spill kits, and odor control liquids — DEOmer's all-season formula and Mask-O's orange formula.
Our team assesses odor detectability, identifies operating conditions that may contribute to odor fade, and provides technical guidance to ensure gas remains reliably detectable throughout complex building and facility infrastructure.
MRR developed the engineering behind modern pipeline conditioning, compliant with CSA Z662 and B149.1. Projects are verified through MAV™ analytical validation, confirming the gas entering service is odorized to specification.
Portable flow generation supplies the flow a line needs when its own system cannot, supporting inline inspection runs, commissioning, and lines not yet in service. Crews mobilize for the campaign and run to your inspection schedule.
Our team inspects and services odorant injection equipment, performs system calibration to ensure accurate odorant dosing, and maintains critical odorization infrastructure to support reliable, long-term system performance in the field.
Fully engineered, PE-stamped odorization packages: designed, fabricated, and installed by MRR, from CSA and CRN certified bypass odorizers to complete stations. Optional orbital welding reduces field joints and potential leak points.
MRR training programs help operators safely manage odorization systems and equipment, covering system operation, maintenance practices, and emergency response so personnel can manage odorization infrastructure with confidence.
Running low on odorant is a quiet compliance risk. Watchtower™ monitors tank levels remotely, scheduling refills on actual consumption, with installed equipment your team monitors or a service MRR watches, and full performance data either way.
