Overview about Mercaptan Gas Detection and Removal
What do you think the smell is when you walk into an office? It’s probably not a pleasant scent. Some workplaces may even have a distinctive odor since they are near natural gas lines or other sources of mercaptan gas. In this article, learn more about the properties of mercaptan and how it creates odors, provides some options for removing it from indoor air, and discusses what is being done to reduce the use of mercaptan gas in the future. Mercaptan gas is used as an industrial odorant, and it is also used in mercaptan gas detector and removal systems.

Mercaptans are a group of volatile organic compounds that have been used as mercapturic acids, mercapto benzene (MBB) and/or mercapto tetramethylene thiuram ido tetraacetate (MTMTEA) in the past. They are present in some gasses formerly used in indoor air that were emitted by internal combustion engines and other forms of liquid and gaseous fuel combustion systems.
What is mercaptan?
Mercaptan gas is a type of organic compound that has a characteristic odor. Mercaptan is used as an industrial odorant, and it is also used in gas detection and removal systems. Mercaptan gas can be harmful if it enters the body through the air, and it can cause respiratory problems in humans.
Mercaptan gas can be harmful if it enters the body through the air, and it can cause respiratory problems in humans. Mercaptan gas detection systems use sensors to identify mercaptan concentrations in atmospheres. If a high concentration of mercaptan is detected, the system may activate to remove the mercaptan from the atmosphere.
