Comparison of Different Natural Gas Flow Rates in Pipelines and their Effect on Odorant Concentration

Abstract— The article deals with the problem of adding and spreading an odorant in a high-pressure pipeline. Briefly describes the basic properties of odorants added to natural gas. Furthermore, it mainly focuses on the odorant concentration in natural gas at different natural gas flow rates. By using the ANSYS CFX software, simulations were carried out on the pipeline models representing the selected section of the distribution network at the maximum, minimum and zero flow of natural gas.
