Odorizing Exchange Valve (OEV) and injection nozzles (IDR & IDK)

Efficient and safe: The perfect combination for modern gas odorization

Böhmer OEV and injection nozzles (IDR & IDK) take gas odorization to a new level. Together they form a system that is designed for maximum efficiency, reliability and safety – regardless of whether natural gas or hydrogen is to be odorized.

Odorizing Exchange Valve

Instead of the classic installation method in the pipeline, the injection nozzle is installed directly in the ball valve with the OEV.

To maintain the injection nozzle, the fitting is shut off and its interior is depressurized. The gas flow continues via a bypass line.

The ball provides a view of the injection nozzle. The viewing window allows the injection nozzle to be inspected without removing it. To replace the injection nozzle, it is simply disconnected from the odorant line and unscrewed from the ball valve.

Thanks to the OWE, these processes take very little time. The fitting increases the efficiency of inspection and maintenance work and enables significant cost savings.

The performance of injection nozzles of the current design decreases steadily over the course of their use, as the aggressive odorant and gas accompanying substances are deposited on the evaporation bodies.

Sticky nozzles evaporate the odorant insufficiently, which increases the consumption of the odorant over time. The stability of nozzles currently in use is also increasingly impaired by their rigid construction, meaning that in extreme cases they can break off.

Our newly developed injection nozzles increase the efficiency and reliability of natural gas odorization.

The new IDR and IDK injection nozzles are far superior to previous designs in terms of efficiency and reliability.
