GPL 5000 Odorizer

Patented

The GPL 5000 is an advanced odorizer ideal for natural gas and propane odorization, particularly in high-flow stations at low pressures. The odorizer utilizes proprietary technology and has high rangeability (500+:1), delivering extraordinary accuracy in both high and low flow.

Differential pressure drives the GPL 5000, not gas, thereby saving pipeline gas. Also, the odorizer has odor-free operation and maintenance, and a sealed-loop system means the unit is emission-free, never discharging gas or odorant into the atmosphere.

The industry-leading PLC (Horner Controller) has a large intuitive touchscreen, making controlling and monitoring the system simple. The system interfaces with Modbus (SCADA). Setting up audit trail reports for company programs or regulatory compliance is uncomplicated. Also, a Spanish mode is available upon request (GPL custom programming).

Real-time mobile alerts to smartphones and computers using a wireless modem or Modbus make monitoring the system simple, stopping minor issues from becoming big problems and speeding up restoration time.

Batch Odorant Injection for Pipelines:

1 to 400 PSI (1-27.6 Bar) Standard
No Flow to 512.8 MMSCFD (injection rate of 0.5 lb./MMSCFH)

While the GPL 5000 is ideal for natural gas and propane in high-flow conditions at low pressures, the unit can odorize biogas or biomethane also. It’s appropriate for municipalities, small city gate stations, and large stations if at low pressure.

GPL 5000 Feature GPL 5000 Benefits

Odorant Injection System Upgrades

GPL Odorizers offers full packaged odorization skids with the odorizer, ASME odorant tank, and containment assemblies; in both vertical and horizontal tank configurations.

Through our GPL-authorized service provider, we offer our clients a one-stop acquisition experience, to ensure excellent service while minimizing oversight and scheduling challenges.

The GPL 100 thermal mass flow meter upgrade, assures that the GPL 750 odorizer provides accurate, optimal and repeatable gas odorization.

  • The GPL 750 Odorizer solved one of our most challenging odorization applications. It demonstrated accurate and repeatable odorant injection even in no flow, low flow, and intermittent flow conditions. The GPL 750 has proven to be boringly reliable.
