Decommissioning of Odorant Equipment

If odorant tanks are old, unserviceable, or regulations call for the removal of the equipment, properly decommissioning the system is necessary.

Decommissioning Equipment

Retiring equipment presents a challenge for any company to safely remove, transport and properly dispose of the contaminated material. It is an arduous task to navigate the 1988 EPA underground storage tank (UST) regulations, the 2015 revisions, and State Program Approval (SPA) regulations. It becomes even more complicated with DOT regulations, EPA procedures and potentially Homeland Security rules if there is a leak during transportation of the removed equipment.

Midland Resource Recovery (MRR) - Decommissioning Odorant Tanks

Odorant Tank Decommissioning with Off-Site Treatment

Midland Resource Recovery (MRR) is the North American pioneer in decommissioning odorant tanks. Since 1996, MRR has provided permanent and environmentally responsible solutions to remove and dispose of contaminated odorant equipment. The company enforces strict protocols to ensure the safe and incident-free removal of the tanks without the release of odorant during all phases of the process. At our processing facility in West Virginia, we use a proprietary de-odorization process to decontaminate the material.

The MRR process is entirely compliant with all regulations.

Midland Resource Recovery (MRR) - Decommissioning Odorant Tanks & Equipment

"Over the years, Midland Resource Recovery has provided Union Gas with safe and dependable odourant services such as odourant system repairs, bypass odourant system replacements, emergency spill response, and odourant waste disposal. Odourant is a product with a potential that is often under-estimated; however, MRR fully understands its impact, and as a result, holds itself to the highest standard of work. Even a small odourant vapour release while completing a task is unacceptable to MRR. Furthermore, in the event of an odourant related emergency, MRR would be the first to receive a call, as they have the expertise and knowledge to assist in a time of crisis. This has been proven time and time again in our relationship throughout the years."
