Tansley Associates services

Tansley's custom odorizer refill service successfully refills hundreds of odorizers every year. From coast to coast our technicians meet with our clients to safely fill and maintain odorizers and perform odor audits on odorant systems: all to ensure that our clients meet their odorization requirements. Through our vast experience we know all makes and types of odorizers and can keep them operating in tip top shape.

Tansley has offered bulk odorant deliveries to our clients for as long as we have been in business. We have highly trained technicians utilizing the best equipment and applying detailed procedures to ensure that your bulk odorant delivery is trouble free. Our proprietary bulk odorant delivery system utilizes our product specific stainless steel ISO pressure vessels.  This system features special odorant-containment apparatus to ensure odor-free bulk deliveries.

When a piece of odorant equipment meets the end of its useful life it must be decommissioned and deodorized by trained technicians. Retired odorization equipment will still retain a residual odor. Decommissioning and deodorization must be completed by trained personnel to avoid the release of this odor into the environment. Old odorant equipment cannot be simply placed into a landfill or recycled without treatment. Tansley technicians will come to your site and decommission your old odorant equipment then prepare it for transportation to one of our locations. At the Tansley location it will be deodorized, rendered inoperable and sent for recycling where it becomes rebar.

There are times when our clients are aware of a leak in their pipelines or are proactively looking for leaks prior to start-up. In these cases they can come to Tansley to pinpoint leaks or substantiate pipeline integrity using our efficient and highly accurate leak detection system.

If our customers require odorant to be transported from one site to another, we can do that too. We have moved from a few gallons to thousands of gallons for our customers. As part of this service we can test and filter the odorant also.

When odorant is first introduced into steel pipelines the sulphur in the odorant will react with the steel pipe to create a layer on the inside of the pipe (pickle). This means that when a pipeline begins operating the odorant injected into the pipeline will be used up in the pickling process and will not reach the end of the pipe; resulting in unodorized gas coming out the end of the pipeline.
