Pickling Services
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.
Odorant conditioning (pickling) is required for new or reserviced pipelines and consists of adding controlled amounts of additional odorant to account for the odorant loss due to pickling.
Working with a world class odorant conditioning (pickling) expert, Tansley provides a full service odorant pickling solution to our customers.
We can provide engineering, planning, equipment, operations and post pickling reporting to make the pickling process seamless for our customers.
