SECTION 1: PRODUCT INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
We appreciate your business and your choice of Welker products. The installation, operation, and maintenance liability for this
equipment becomes that of the purchaser at the time of receipt. Reading the applicable Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
(IOM) Manuals prior to installation and operation of this equipment is required for a full understanding of its application and
performance prior to use.*
If you have any questions, please call Welker at 1-281-491-2331.
*The following procedures have been written for use with standard Welker OdorEyes parts and equipment. Assemblies that have been modified may have additional
requirements and specifications that are not listed in this manual.
1.2 Product Description
The Welker OdorEyes ECOsystem™ Pulse Bypass System is designed to infuse the customer pipeline proportional to flow with
natural gas that has been supersaturated with vaporized odorant. This skid-mounted automatic bypass system has three (3)
primary components: the touch screen controller, the valve section, and the odorant supply tank. Each primary component plays
an integral role in the operation of the ECOsystem™ and can be customized to better suit each application.
The touch screen controller serves as the system’s brain. It continuously receives feedback from the customer’s gas flow meter
and the flow switch in the valve section, allowing the system to respond to changing flow conditions. As pipeline conditions
change, the controller increases or decreases the injection rate so that the ECOsystem™ continues infusing proportional to flow.
On-site and remote troubleshooting and monitoring are made easier by time- and date-stamped audit data detailing system
performance, alarm history, and odorant tank level. An optional solar panel generates renewable energy to power the system
when an electrical source is unavailable.
The valve section contains one (1), two (2), or three (3) solenoids, which control the flow of gas through the odorant supply tank
and into the pipeline. Having two (2) or three (3) solenoids allows the ECOsystem™ to better respond to and accommodate
varying flow rates and limits interruption to operation in the event of solenoid maintenance. To prolong the operational life of the
regulator and solenoid(s), the Welker F-5 Filter Dryer conditions the natural gas supply. The flow switch communicates the
solenoid operation to the controller to ensure proper odorization. For pulse bypass systems used in cold climates, a heater with
thermostat can be added to replenish heat lost during regulation.
Each odorant supply tank is equipped with a tank fill inlet, vent port, blanket pressure inlet, level gauge, and outlet to the pipeline.
The temperature transmitter communicates odorant temperature to the controller so the system can compensate for
temperature changes within the odorant tank. For added automation, an electronic level transmitter can be installed to
communicate tank level to the controller. Regardless of volume or orientation, the odorant supply tank comes with 110%
containment that is sloped to the drain for easy draining.
Welker may custom design the ECOsystem™ Pulse Bypass System to suit the particular application and specifications of each customer.
1.3 Safety Warning
Wherever hazardous gases or vapor-producing liquids are used, transported, or stored, the potential for an accidental leak exists.
Continuous monitoring of these hazards is essential to ensure personnel safety.

Can only be active if Analog mode is selected.
The controller will go into the selected fail mode when this alarm is active.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, verify that a 4–20 mA signal is being received from the flow meter.
Can only be active if Pulse mode is selected.
The controller will go into the selected fail mode when this alarm is active.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, the pulse input cutoff time has expired. Verify that a pulse input is being
received from the flow meter. If this alarm is active when the controller is receiving pulse input from the
flow meter, Welker recommends increasing the pulse input cutoff time to prevent the alarm from
becoming active prematurely.
Can only be active if Constant Rate Mode is specified as the desired fail mode.
The controller will enter this gas flow fail mode when there is a gas flow signal loss.
Can only be active if Shutdown Mode is specified as the desired fail mode.
The controller will enter this gas flow fail mode when there is a gas flow signal loss.
Can only be active if Fixed Mode is enabled and the Fixed Alarm Rate is set.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, the Fixed Alarm Rate will be the assumed gas flow in the system and will
override any other input parameters. The Fixed Rate Alarm will not clear until Fixed Mode is disabled.
Can only be active if Transmitter is set as the RTD setup method.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, verify that a 4–20 mA signal is being received from the temperature
transmitter. If this alarm is active, the system will use the manually entered temperature; therefore,
Welker recommends regularly updating the manual temperature value.
Can only be active if an electronic level transmitter is used to track the odorant tank level and the
controller loses the 4–20 mA signal from the transmitter.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, the controller will automatically switch to the odorant flow method to track
the odorant tank level. The controller will use the value of odorant in the tank and subtract the
appropriate volume each time the solenoid opens.
Active if the odorant tank level has dropped below the specified value.
NOTE: This alarm will clear once the tank is filled with odorant or the alarm set point is lowered.
Active if the flow switch signals the controller indicating gas is passing through it even though the
solenoid(s) should not be open.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, it could be an indication that a solenoid is stuck open and that the system is
over-odorizing or that the flow switch is stuck open.
Active if the controller signals the solenoid to open but does not receive a signal from the flow switch
confirming the solenoid has opened.
NOTE: If this alarm is active, it could be an indication that the solenoid has failed closed or that the
pressure differential across the system is not great enough to odorize.

Tank Level Setup
Figure 28: Odorant Tank – Tank Level Setup
When using an electronic level transmitter to track the odorant tank level, the Method should be set to Transmitter.
When estimating the odorant tank level based on odorant usage, the Method should be set to Odorant Flow.
The Current Level numeric value cannot be directly changed. Instead, the user must enter a value in the Adjust Level field to increase
or decrease the Current Level by the specified amount.
To decrease the Current Level, enter the volume to be subtracted from the current level as a negative number in the
•
Adjust Level field, and then press ENTER to save the changes. The Current Level should have decreased by the amount
entered, and the Adjust Level should have reverted to 0.0.
To increase the Current Level, enter the volume to be added to the current level in the Adjust Level field, and then press
•
ENTER to save the changes. The Current Level should have increased by the amount entered, and the Adjust Level should
have reverted to 0.0.

RTD Setup
Figure 31: Odorant Tank – RTD Setup
When using a temperature transmitter to track the temperature in the odorant tank, the Method should be set to Transmitter.
When there is no device tracking the temperature in the odorant tank, the Method should be set to Manual Entry.
Setting an accurate manual temperature is necessary even when using a temperature transmitter. The temperature of the odorant
supply tank is key to system operation; correct odorization is not possible without this value.

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
4.1 Before You Begin
1.
2.
Refer to Appendix B, Maintenance Schedule, for the itemized Welker recommended maintenance schedule for the
ECOsystem™.
Prior to maintenance or disassembly of the unit, it is advisable to have a repair kit available for repairs of the system in
case of unexpected wear or faulty seals.
New seals supplied in spare parts kits should be lightly lubricated before being installed to ease the installation of the seals and
reduce the risk of damage when positioning them on parts. Wipe excess lubricant from the seals, as it may adversely affect analytical
instrument results.
For sample-exposed seals, Welker recommends non-hydrocarbon-based lubricants, such as Krytox®.
For non-sample-exposed seals, Welker recommends either non-hydrocarbon-based lubricants or silicone-based lubricants, such as
Molykote® 111.
After the seals are installed, the outer diameter of shafts and inner diameter of cylinders may be lubricated to allow smooth
transition of parts.
3.
All maintenance and cleaning of the unit should be performed on a smooth, clean surface.
4.2 Maintenance
1.
2.
During operation, monitor the system for leaks. If leaks are present, halt operation and repair as necessary.
Occasionally, a system component may need to be repaired or replaced for manufacturer recommended maintenance.
To perform maintenance on components:
a. Turn OFF all electrical power to the system.
b. Depressurize the system and close all valves.
Prior to closing odorized gas outlet valves K1 and K2 and/or the pipeline isolation valve, the ECOsystem™ must be powered down.
This is to prevent the odorant supply tank from building pressure.
c.
d.
e.
f.
