New Precision Injection Odorization System Fills the Gap for Low-flow Applications
Welker Announces Invention of Patent Pending Odorant Injection Pump
Sugar Land, Texas – 30 June 2020 –Welker, Inc. today released the Accu/Line™ Lo Injection System, a turnkey odorization system with a patent pending odorant pump designed to provide consistent proportional to flow odorization for flow rates from 1 Mscfh up to 720 Mscfh and pipelines with a maximum allowable operating pressure of 2160 psig.
Maintaining proper odorization levels at all times is critical for public safety. This can be a challenge for traditional injection odorization systems used in low-flow applications—with the pumps often operating at the extreme low end of their range, a system’s accuracy is compromised. The Accu/Line™ Lo rises to this challenge. At the heart of this new system is a patent pending pump that combines Welker’s patented Vanishing Chamber™ Collection Cup with a bellows. The Vanishing Chamber™ continues Welker’s tradition of eliminating troublesome vapor lock by using positive displacement to capture and inject a small fixed volume of liquid odorant into the pipeline with each actuation. The bellows isolates odorant from the pump mechanism, allowing for odor-free routine maintenance. Coupling this unique pump design with the smart control of Welker’s Accu/Line™ Injection System, the Accu/Line™ Lo is the new standard for dependable odorization at low flow rates.
“I saw a need in the marketplace for a system that could precisely inject a very small amount of odorant on each pump stroke,” said Josh Welker, President of Welker, Inc., and inventor of the patent pending pump. “Our new pump combined with the control benefits of our Accu/Line™ system fulfills this need.”
